"Senator Vance Launches Investigation into DEI Funding Amidst Controversial 'Decenter Whiteness' Article"
Senator JD Vance of Ohio expressed outrage over a Forbes article titled "3 Ways To Decenter Whiteness In Your Workplace," which discussed removing "Whiteness" from the workplace to better accommodate people "of color." Vance condemned the article as racist and vowed to investigate whether the author's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion consultancy receives public funding from Ohio. Other public figures also criticized the article and Forbes for publishing it, while the author defended her work, stating that Vance misunderstood the concept of decentering whiteness.
