Progressives play word games with everything. The Diversity in DEI is taken to mean diversity of skin color, diversity of sexuality or preferences, and homogeneity of political thought. This helps explain the absence of any conservatives or moderates, anyone slightly to the political right.

With DEI, Equity has been substituted for the word Equality because Equity means equal outcomes, not equal opportunity. This slight of hand which is not obvious to someone not immersed in the DEI culture allows DEI promoters to verbally side step any accountability for violating the Civil Rights Law of 1964 which prohibits racism in hiring practices. And that is exactly what they do under the cover of anti-racism, which is DEI sanctioned racism.

Inclusivity in DEI, sounds great, but there is no individual inclusivity, it’s all group based. You are not an individual and are expected to fit the DEI criteria and beliefs for your group.

I'll disagree on a small, but crucial point. Equity never meant equal outcomes until equitism came along.

Likely true. Equity was not in common use prior to DEI, so I believe it was substituted for the words Equal Opportunity which have a very specific and legal meaning, so that the word games could begin.
