They'll say they just want the best person for the job to get it, and that DEI gives that job to a [insert minority group] instead of the most qualified person.
To be fair, they may actually believe that. A lot of these people don't believe they're racist, sexist, pigs. They are, but they don't think they are. It's not part of their calculus. They see a diversity program and feel victimized by it, they may relate troubles they had to getting a job to a diversity program instead of their own qualifications.
Because, these people are terminally self centered and the hero of their own story.
They will tell you that liberals just want a hand out, while sucking down every hand out they can get. But THEY earned it, no one else does, but they did. Regardless of their circumstances they worked hard to get what they have, and no one else is willing to.
There is no argument you can make that they do not have an answer for. They're almost always misinformed misanthropes. You're either in their group or you're the bad guy. There's no winning when you engage them.
Their monkeys throwing shit. You can throw shit back by the money will have a good time, and you'll still be covered in shit.
