That’s what it claims to mean, but that’s frankly not how it was implemented.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are fabulous ideals that result in better science that improves the lives of more people. If properly implemented, they create a better workplace ecosystem that better serves its employees and our nation/planet/community.
I wish that DEI programs didn’t stand for Demonization, Exclusion, and Inequity.

I’ve been reading the whole thread and it looks like you’re blaming an entire program for the bad experience you had with a particular group of people.

A particular group of people… who ran the program and used it as a tool of oppression.
Because of this, I think that it’s valid that I direct my criticisms towards the program. Would you rather I start rattling off names? Or should I focus on the structural inequities that enabled and rewarded these bad actors?
I suspect that these overreaches of power contributed to the rampant public animosity towards these programs and enabled fascism.
I hope that someone learns from my criticisms so that we can prevent what happened last year from happening again.

That is exactly the incel mentality. These people did me wrong so I will blame the entirety of what, in my eyes, they represent.
