Gen Z men have been sacrificed on the altar of diversity — and it’s sending them into the arms of reactionary influencers like Nick Fuentes, who prey on their grievances. A recent article in Compact magazine about the plight of young white men in hiring and admissions revealed how, over the last decade, they’ve been forced by the DEI regime to pay for the advantages conferred upon their fathers and grandfathers. The way they were passed up by colleges and workplaces was completely unfair. Gen Z white men grew up knowing that the system was stacked against them. No wonder they’re bitter, if not reactionary.
We should roll back the DEI bureaucracy for the sake of meritocracy. But if you need yet another reason, how about stopping white teen boys from falling down a rabbit hole of grievance politics. Writer Jacob Savage hit a nerve with his Compact article, “The Lost Generation,” which rattles through startling statistics showing just how large a hit white Millennial men took in professional representation. White men in tenure-track humanities positions at Harvard fell from 39% in 2014 to 18% in 2023. White men working as entry-level TV writers in Hollywood dropped from 48% in 2011 to 12% in 2024.
