DEI has become such a contentious term that we should consider retiring it, in my opinion.

Renaming your ideological movement because most people don't like what it stands for won't change peoples opinion.

What about DEI makes it an “ideological” movement as opposed to other movements who are presumably not ideological?

And I’m not sure what “most people”, is supposed to mean; you do realize you’re talking about 49% – that is, under half, so definitively not “most” – of the US of A’s population?[0]

Maybe the demonizing everybody who does not agree with it or the agenda driven financial investment by mega corporations with ESG scores invented by the WEF folks

Most Americans are growing skeptical of DEI as an ideological framework and that helped Trump.

This suggests two possible paths forward: either we move beyond the theoretical underpinnings and focus on practical inclusion — supporting people from diverse backgrounds through approaches with broad consensus.

Or DEI becomes increasingly marginalized, championed primarily by masked activists who struggle to maintain relevance.

The concept that it represents is contentious.
