just so we're clear here
When you ask bigoted people to be more fair and not treat people like shit for reasons that have no bearing on their capability or personal worth, they always complain that a request like that is too subjective or poorly defined for them to ever possibly manage to obey. They're too lazy to figure it out, they need it spelled out like a shitty learned-helplessness husband needs to have instructions for the washing machine written out in fucking crayon, so they can't find a loophole to exploit and then go "it's too haaaaaaard"
So people began codifying it into easy-to-follow concepts, like "political correctness", or "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion", directly in an answer to this complaint of subjectivity. Now, they had it pretty much on paper in easy to follow bullet points of what not to do.
These things exist BECAUSE the vast majority of people in power are also discriminatory, and they exist to CURB that discriminatory tendency, so that the staff in any given position didn't wind up being poorly educated entitled white men, and instead was staffed with anyone who happened to be the best for the job which, surprise surprise, was often far more diverse
again: it isn't to insert brown people into places they aren't qualified for, it's to make sure race/sex/age/whatever isn't preventing qualified people from getting the jobs they deserve. DEI places are diverse because talent is diverse, not because they were randomly chosen to look more diverse.
...though I think most people get this, they're just doing the learned helplessness shitty husband thing and don't realize how embarrassing it is for them
