5 min read"I Was Right" — Asmongold TV
"I never wanted to be this right," Asmongold says at one point during this episode, and the tone is almost weary. He is reacting to a series of studies and news reports that, in his view, confirm what he has long argued about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs: they primarily benefit white women, not the racial minorities they are ostensibly designed to help.
The Central Claim: DEI's Primary Beneficiaries
The episode hinges on a single data point that Asmongold treats as definitive. According to a study cited by Black Enterprise magazine, in 2021 only 3.78% of all chief diversity officers in corporate America were Black. Ten years earlier, in 2011, that figure was 3.78%. Over a decade of DEI policies, the number of Black chief diversity officers increased by zero percentage points. Meanwhile, the same study reportedly showed that white women gained ground. Asmongold also cites a McKinsey study, filtered through Forbes, finding that white women hold nearly 19% of all C-suite positions while racial and ethnic minority women hold only 4%. His conclusion: "Overall, white women have benefited disproportionately from corporate DEI policies."
