Where have you been?
That ignoring history
That is because of the problems than have been mounting in tech because people only hired people that looked like them.
I do not understand what the problem is with DEI. (I am not in the USA, perhaps I am missing out). Making sure that no one is left behind, because they were over looked, seems like a good thing to me.
This sound a lot like the "just asking questions", esp because of the "seems like a good thing to me" bit, like you know it's a mischaracterisation of the problem.
If you really don't understand, read what people write.
If all you believe DEI is what you characterised as above, then you aren't reading any dissenting opinion.
