Care to describe the extreme implementation?

I think this is an area that is perilous.

So certain DEI initiatives are flawed in unfair ways. So there's room for valid criticism.

However, more critically it's a gigantic dog whistle. The magnitude of the flaws does not call for massive emails demanding everyone snitch at any whiff of DEI and sweeping offices to remove anything deemed DEI aligned and cancelling any hint of celebrating cultural diversity.

So on the one hand I can relate to a discussion of flaws, but in the broader context it seems more to serve the agenda of those blowing the dog whistle.
