Why do many liberals and "angry conservatives" resist diversity programs? While some would characterize this resistance as a manifestation of systemic racism or white supremacy, such an assertion is prejudiced and unproven. Instead, a legitimate concern is that the underlying ideology is antithetical to a liberal society. For example, they argue that these programs prioritize group identity over individual merit and emphasize equal outcomes over equality of opportunity, which undermines the foundational principles of liberalism.
