Costco's board of directors rejected requests to remove its DEI program, which shareholders described as "illegal discrimination," prompting backlash from members of the MAGA movement.
The board of Costco said, "Our efforts around diversity, equity and inclusion follow our code of ethics."
The defense was met with anger from many Trump supporters, with some calling for a boycott on social media.
These MAGA types want to return to the 1950's when hierarchies were stronger, and white heterosexual able-bodied cis-gender Christian hierarchy-building US-born males enjoyed the privilege that their hierarchies granted them over everyone else.
