Tech billionaire Trump adviser Marc Andreesen says universities will 'pay the price' for DEI

39. White male resentment

For many white males, their place at the top of the hierarchy was God-given. By virtue of their birth, they were superior to all women and all people with brown or black skin. Over the last five to six decades, that God-given status at the top of the hierarchy has been challenged by the social changes that have allowed women and non-whites to demonstrate, when given the opportunity of a level playing field, that they are equal to white males in intellectual ability.

Suddenly white males are confronted by women and non-white people who are smart, articulate, and successful. They are confronted by brown and black immigrants who work hard and send their children to top universities. Those white males of Andreessen’s ilk cannot tolerate the fact that women and non-whites are their equals (or, in many cases, superiors). Their precious egos are damaged. Therefore, they hate. And they write stupid invectives like this, which blame universities, which are trying to correct long injustices.
