Comedian Adam Carolla said the United States' focus on race is "hurting the country" Thursday on "Tucker Carlson Tonight."

"It used to be ‘bring us the best and the brightest’" said Carolla. "Now it's 'bring us the least-Whitest.'"

"It's a constant obsession in 2022 of a problem that has essentially been solved years ago, and it's hurting the country, obviously, to keep talking about this thing," he told host Tucker Carlson.

Despite this, Carolla predicted that the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion revolution is "hitting some sort of saturation critical mass point."

"Although I say that every four months, and they go crazier," he added.
