If you watch The Office (US) Season 1, even though it's almost 2 decades old, it captures the conundrum that minorities can both be subjected to casual racism/sexiam/homophobia and misguided corporate interventions. I've personally never seen what you describe, but I'm sure there are companies that are particularly clumsy at DEI. I believe, however, that doing DEI well is a strategic advantage. It's less about making sure every single individual feels represented and included (even though that's important), because it's not really possible to explicitly enumerate every possible identity. Rather, it's about building the conscientiousness that makes people better at serving a diverse customerbase, and better at collaborating with people, who are diverse in ways that may or may not be apparent. It's not about walking on eggshells to avoid offending anybody. It's about taking ownership and being open to learn. The best trainings I've had really nail this. But it is not easy to do. Or, I should say, it's easy to half-ass.
