The backstory: One reason companies created these programs is that there are widespread inequities in corporate America

EQUITY != EQUALITY

The very unique aspect of the American culture was the ability to move UP and DOWN the social and economic ladders.

DEI - Didn’t Earn It, should be offensive to any rational human being.

Some business leaders are increasingly reluctant to speak publicly about the discredited subject, but
behind the scenes they’re fed up with DEI, Johnny Taylor, president of the Society for Human Resource Management said in a January interview with Axios.

“The backlash against DEI is real, in ways that I’ve actually never seen it before,” he says.
“CEOs are literally putting the brakes on DEI.”

It was running strong to arouse white guilt w/ the George Floyd thing.
May 2020 pushed businesses into action for fear of being called racists.

CMS mandated it just like the trump vax. In fact teaching universities get paid for each of the diverse students.

”We want to make sure that we don't trigger somebody with some of these words."

Idiots. You worry about “triggering” your fussy 2-year old at a social event. In the world of adults, anyone who can be “triggered” is immature, and not worth your time or effort to deal with, beyond showing them the door.

I told my Fidelity manager I wanted no part of DIE investment.
He said most of their clients say the same thing and his team doesn’t do it.

DEI... Call it what it really is. Overt racism, classism and sexism. But the ignorant college educated elitists these days are too lacking of common sense and good judgement to realize that.

Equity does NOT equal equality.

For example, say a town has a shared apple orchard. equality says everyone has a right to pick apples from the town orchard. Equity, on the other hand would mean that if someone picked 10 apples then everyone else in the town has to get 10 apples also, even though they didn’t bother to go to the orchard and pick any apples for themselves.

Equity, also known as egalitarianism is impossible to implement in a free society. Especially a capitalist one. But it’s always a tool of the Marxist/communist left to fool the ignorant fools. It’s the bait on the hook.
