I get what you are saying. I think for your job, your focus is looking at the details of the policy or program. But I think you are missing, or ignoring, the overall context in which those details are being adjusted. Trump runs on a life-is-so-unfair-to-white-men, Trump wins, and then multiple corporations remove "diversity" and "equality" from their company policies. You can argue the merits of this or that individual section or subsection of a policy, but, as a whole, this is just corporate cowardice and greed, at the expense of minorities who are significantly underrepresented in the corporate world.
And we always do this. The Republicans make some stink about something and we think the solution is to change the name. Black Lives Matter is a pretty self-evident statement, but some people feel the need to qualify it. Critical Race Theory is an academic approach, but rather than standing by its basic conept, we back off leaving the vacuum for Republicans to set the academic agenda. Now DEI....because somehow diversity and equality are bad words. No, fuck that. We need to stop retreating from the terminology and start defending the concepts. But by all means, let's change the name tags and see if that addresses white victimhood that they don't have the same built in advantages they had in the past.
