I agree that painting with broad strokes is harmful. Throwing all DEI into that category (and conflating it with ESG) does just that. There are those who chose to adopt DEI as a kind of moral-washing, which explains why they were so willing to shed their programs when brought under scrutiny. Those that actually have values that speak to honoring the dignity and contributions of everyone and reward them according to their abilities -- those don't deserve to be lumped in.
