A report was recently released on a fascinating new study on the impacts of Diversity-Equity-Inclusion (DEI) policies.
According to actual science, implementing DEI results in many unintended consequences, none of which are suitable for businesses or their employees.
New research from the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) and Rutgers University reveals that some diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training methods may cause psychological harm.
The study, released on Monday, shows significant increases in hostility and punitive attitudes among participants exposed to DEI pedagogy covering subjects like race, religion and caste.
This hostile attribution bias may contribute to increased intergroup hostility and authoritarian behavior in the long run, according to study co-author and NCRI Chief Science Officer Joel Finkelstein.
“What we did was we took a lot of these ideas that were found to still be very prominent in a lot of these DEI lectures and interventions and training,” said Finkelstein in an interview with Fox News Digital. “And we said, ‘Well, how is this going to affect people?’ What we found is that when people are exposed to this ideology,
It appears that mainstream media outlets such as Bloomberg and The New York Times were poised to report on these findings but opted to remain silent on the harms caused by DEI
An NCRI researcher told National Review, “Unfortunately, both publications jumped on the story enthusiastically only for it to be inexplicably pulled at the highest editorial levels. This has never happened to the NCRI in its 5-year history.”
An editor for Bloomberg News’s team meant to “elevate issues of race, gender, diversity, and fairness,” Anna Kitanaka, told NCRI that the story would not be published. However, Ms. Kitanaka did not provide any explanation for the decision.
Meanwhile, a reporter with the Times told the NCRI that the paper would “hold off” on its article about the study because of “some concerns.” However, the reporter said the Times may reconsider an article if the research was peer-reviewed.
An NCRI researcher told National Review, “The piece was reported and ready for publication, but at the eleventh hour, the New York Times insisted the research undergo peer review after discussions with editorial staff — an unprecedented demand for our work.”
Besides the psychological costs and the loss of monies related to the impact on business operations, DEI initiatives have drained billions of dollars in vital resources.
- In 2023, the Biden administration spent over $16 million on diversity training across various federal agencies, including the Departments of Defense, Education, Energy, and Labor. This figure does not account for in-house training costs.
- Annually, companies in the United States spend approximately $8 billion on DEI efforts. This includes initiatives such as employee resource groups and diversity training programs.
- Institutions of higher education of squandered millions implementing racialist policies that science now shows harm the participants. For example. The University of Virginia reportedly spends around $6 million annually on DEI programs, while the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill spends over $3 million. Other universities and institutions have spent millions more. Imagine how much better American higher education might be if it was spent elsewhere, or otherwise budgeted so tuition might be more reasonable.
As a scientist, I will simply note that there was a substantial increase in hostility to one particular group in the years DEI has been robustly implemented on campus. This data point supports the NRCI findings.
Dr. Colin Wright is the CEO/Editor-in-Chief of Reality’s Last Stand, an evolutionary biology PhD, and a Manhattan Institute Fellow. He has a superb analysis of the suppression of this groundbreaking study. If you want the full analysis of the study from a true expert, click on the link!
In promoting his piece, he makes two outstanding points:
1) The study offers empirical data that DEI does not work.
2) The lack of news shows that our media is simply propaganda for preferred political narratives.
Critics of DEI have long pointed to its lack of empirical support, and the NCRI study adds weight to those concerns.
As troubling as the study’s findings are, its suppression may be even more consequential. The decision to withhold this research from public discourse speaks to a larger issue: the growing entanglement of ideology and information.
The public deserves to know if the tools being deployed to foster “equity” and “anti-racism” are instead causing harm.
As DEI programs continue to expand across schools, workplaces, and governments, the stakes could not be higher. Whether this research sparks a broader reckoning or remains buried will depend on whether institutions—and the media that hold them accountable—are willing to confront uncomfortable truths.
Those people were also more likely to endorse dehumanizing rhetoric, including adapted quotes from Adolf Hitler where the term “Jew” was replaced with “Brahmin.”
The findings suggest that these programs may not only fail to address systemic injustice but actively cultivate… pic.twitter.com/k2Z0U5LLNb

In other words, science dies in silence.
psychological interference and manipulation never fully works
this was why Prof Cannon refused winston churchills demands to take some patients from the colney hatch mental hospital and make them into manchurian candidates This is the technical name for people brainwashed to blow themselves up near the enemy
In experiments Lord Moran churchills doctor spoke of an elderly lady Doris Harman having an explosive belt and told to pull the cord while walking to a bunch of dummies at porton down , she got half way then turned to walk back to check she was doing it right and several doctors were badly injured in the explosion
According to this article, the “one particular group” that DEI attacks is not whites and their supremacy, but Jews. Student demonstrations against the genocide in Gaza proves it.
So if you don’t approve of the genocide, you do approve of DEI. What BS.
And anything that can be made to support the Jews-as-victims narrative is more newsworthy than the ongoing oppression of all whites in the US, whom POC’s, especially blacks, are constantly openly attacking. More BS.
If the major media outlets had published the research, it would have been shredded by serious scientists due to invalid methodology. The authors are hiding its flaws behind their protestations that they’ve never before been asked to have an article peer-reviewed. I don’t think any reviewers will be willing to lose their reputations over approving this piece of propaganda.
This article is an indirect attack on whites by Jews. They don’t have the decency to attack us openly, as even blacks do. They prefer sabotage, undermining, gaslighting.
They’re like the blacks who are always moaning about being victims of slavery, even though it ended in the US 150 years ago. The Holocaust, which was not nearly the massacre they pretend it was, is the Jew’s ticket to perpetual victimhood, but the world is waking up to that.
Why are the blacks so intently out to get whites when our Western civilization that supports them would disappear without us, or be invaded and replaced by other cultures with little to zero tolerance for them?
The same can be asked of the Jews, since without our foreign aid, their war would collapse and their country would sink into near-poverty or be likewise invaded.
Its just Jew-Commie brainwashing. As I’ve explained before, DEI is simply a euphemism for ‘Nonwhite Supremacy’. That’s the goal behind all of this Commie propaganda: brainwash the white masses to hate themselves & empathize/worship wogs
DEI, working exactly as it was designed to, creating conditions for race/religious wars.
How hard is it to treat others exactly as how you would like to be treated?
Yeah, that “increase in hostility to one particular group” is why these studies are being done and information about them spread around.
It was all supposed to increase hostility to WT, but it didn’t work. Why?
Everyone has their favorite, but in the USA, the Nation of Islam (NOI) started circulating very well-researched papers on how Zionists have shafted the black population for years. So when DEI started, the NOI circulated the papers that noted one PARTICULAR type of whites are corrosive to black interests and then let nature take its course.
And so it goes. As recently as 50 years ago, this might not have worked. But here we are, and it’s a bit more complicated. Between the hostility that already exists between minorities in developed nations and the increasing inundation of phony refugees over the last few years, I think the goose is just about cooked. There might even be calls for revolution. They pushed it all too far this time.
DEI prevents able people, mostly men, from reaching the level their ability would take them, because the crooks in charge have the system how they like it and an able man can improve things by putting them right. It would be too obvious an attack on meritocracy and change for the better if those who want to keep the status quo said these men can’t have these jobs because they’ll put an end to the grift, but they found it much easier to say no to him because he’s not coloured, a woman or a queer. They call it “inclusion” by insisting upon quotas of the patently unsuitable when in reality it’s all about the exclusion of the right man.
The pencil necks commenting know nothing. Blacks are not worshipped and western economies depend on African resources. When Africa gets it acts together, the resources tap will be turned off and it will be interesting to see how far the west can go without Africa’s resources.
As for DEI, it’s complete and utter bollocks, most Blacks are not interested, talk to the Asians, Arabs and brainwashed negroes.
What a shock! Being rewarded for skin color instead of achievement causes resentment & division? How else can the talmudic communists screw up a nation that 20th/21st century presidents have paved the way for?
The Zionists spit on all three aspects of DEI, so be like them if you don’t like it
Hahaha you should have learned this by the time you were five years old;when your brother who was useless tricked your mum into giving him the rewards due to you hahaha
Not all jews claim to be white. There’s a jewish woman on TikTok who looks lightly tanned and says, since they came from the middle east, they were poc’s, as she is. But they like being seen as white because they get all the white privileges. She laughs at whites because jews can use us like this. I don’t use TikTok so can’t go find it and give you the url. I saw it by linking from a news article about it.
Malcolm–we get African resources because we need them; I don’t remember you lot doing anything with Cadmium or Cobalt, or even oil
