    I hate the idea of compromising at all on civil rights, but dropping the name “DEI” to let the segregationists feel like they got a win while just continuing to do all the same work under a different name is probably the best we can hope for from a for profit entity

      Agreed.

      While I’m a more in your face leftist, I also embrace tactics that make your adversary think they won when nothing has changed.

      They teach the benefits of diversity programs in business administration courses. In a diverse and globalized economy especially, it benefits a company to have a diverse staff.

      In other words, the crackdown on DEI programs by the federal administration isn’t just cruel to the folks being affected, it’s also going to negatively affect GDP. By forcing corporations to choose between best business practices and the whims of an authoritarian regime.
