    Nope. Your explanation is the oversimplified one. In the public eye, DEI is being blamed for the results of corporate corruption, including incidents like the Boeing crashes and the Francis Scott Key bridge collapse.

    There are valid criticisms of DEI from actual researchers, but that is not what conservatives are doing here. They are blaming people of color and women for major corporate oversights. I cannot speak to your two examples of corporate racism and whether they are valid examples of DEI, but it’s important to note that the vast majority of DEI initiatives comply with the law.

    Also quoting MLK as a rebuttal when your only two examples are illegal ones that I don’t see anyone defending is pretty nasty. Again, the vast majority of DEI initiatives comply with the law.
