But as it's been said many times, corporations aren't democracies. (And regardless of moral value, they never will be.) The expectation that your leadership should look like you is fraught and misunderstands the whole idea of a corporation.

The expectation is societal by their participation in the political process; because the voice of the population carries far less weight than that of a large corporation, there will be strong internal pressure for the company to take a political stance on an issue. The corporations opened this Pandora’s box; if they want the workplace to be apolitical again they need to work with Congress to muzzle themselves and stay out of politics altogether. (Also those “arbitrary metrics” now largely include diversity metrics because they do actually increase profitability in the long run.)
