China does the opposite of DEI. It’s a country where dozens of different ethnic groups all pretend to be “Han Chinese” to facilitate social harmony.
Also, the goal of the Chinese system is assimilation into the Han Chinese dominant culture. And they have reeducation camps for minorities that insist on cultural separatism.
The point is at the end of the day their govt will build trains to every little village because that’s the consensus, they just don’t call it DEI. Westerners call it “ghost towns”… which then fill up promptly.
Is the China model perfect? Absolutely not. But it makes some strong points

“DEI” is the promotion of distinct identities with an emphasis on differences (the “D” means “diversity”). In contrast to assimilating into a common, dominant identity. Investing in underdeveloped geographic regions isn’t DEI at all. I agree the Chinese system is vastly better than what we call DEI.
Biologists meanwhile know that it’s in your DNA: https://customercare.23andme.com/hc/en-us/articles/212169298.... You can take a DNA sample of me and have a very good idea about my ancestors going back tens of thousands of years.

Or because of appeals to fake authority like you just did here.
