(DCNF)—The Heritage Foundation research fellow Delano Squires turned the tables on a C-SPAN caller Tuesday who asked if he believes he’s a “DEI hire.”
Under the Biden-Harris administration, the U.S. saw a ramp up in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), with many Democrats supporting the policies put in place federally and millions spent on some of the programs. Speaking about black families in America, Squires took a question from a caller named Anwar, who suggested the research fellow “look at” what the government “isn’t doing” for black Americans versus what black families should do.
After criticizing Squires’ argument, Anwar then posed his “final question,” asking if Squires considers himself a “DEI hire for Heritage.”
“Let me answer the second question first, right, in terms of being a DEI hire. There’s no part of me that believes that. I have the respect of my colleagues,” Squires said. “My work stands for itself. As I said, I’ve been writing about these issues and thinking about these issues since I was 15, but even in an official capacity for over a decade.”
“But it’s interesting that some of the same people who say that black folks need DEI and celebrate DEI will use DEI as a way to insult black people with whom they disagree,” Squires added. “I find that actually quite interesting.”
Despite Democrats’ efforts to support DEI in the workplace and other areas, a poll conducted by AP-NORC in July showed that both black and Hispanic respondents are more likely than white people to believe that DEI programs ultimately increase discrimination against minorities.
According to the data, which surveyed 1,437 adults, the polls found that less than half of Americans believe DEI has benefits for the “people it’s intended to help,” PBS reported.
The survey showed roughly four in 10 black respondents and one-third of Hispanic respondents said that DEI increases discrimination against black people, as roughly one-quarter of white adults said the same. Additionally, the data reported a close split between white adults and black and Hispanic adults on the same question of discrimination against Hispanics.

Discover the Freedom of True American Healthcare: Why America First is Revolutionizing Protection for Patriots
In a world where government overreach and skyrocketing premiums are squeezing the life out of hardworking Americans, one innovative agency is standing tall for liberty and affordability. Meet America First Healthcare—the private health insurance powerhouse dedicated to putting *you* first.
Founded by entrepreneur Jordan Sarmiento, this isn’t just insurance; it’s a shield for your family’s future, built on the unshakeable belief that private enterprise delivers better results than bureaucratic red tape.
Picture this: Jordan’s own story hits close to home for so many of us. A sudden medical emergency landed him with a staggering $95,000 bill. Under a traditional plan? He’d be buried in debt. But with America First’s patented health insurance, that nightmare shrank to just $500 out-of-pocket. That’s not a fluke—it’s the promise of coverage that works *for you*, from day one.
Breaking Free from the Chains of Conventional Coverage
Let’s face it: The status quo stinks. Marketplace.gov and big-insurance behemoths hit you with sky-high deductibles—thousands you’d have to pay before benefits even kick in—leaving massive holes in your protection. Need a routine mammogram, colonoscopy, or EKG? Good luck without forking over more cash. And don’t get us started on the gaps in dental, vision, or critical illness support when heart attacks, cancer, or kidney failure strike.
America First Healthcare flips the script. As a proud advocate for private solutions over government intervention, they craft custom plans that slash costs by 20% compared to traditional options. We’re talking comprehensive coverage that includes:

- Accident and Critical Illness Protection: Real safeguards against life’s curveballs.
- Add-On Boosts: Dental, vision, disability, and supplemental plans to plug every leak.
Whether you’re an individual stepping off your parents’ plan, a growing family with kids in tow, or a small business owner tired of employee headaches, their tailored approach fits like a glove. Small businesses? Unlock group benefit rates usually reserved for corporate giants—without the red tape.
And for those in-between moments? Short-term insurance steps in as an ultra-affordable bridge, while life insurance ensures your loved ones are never left vulnerable.
