The culture war take is fairly dumb -- mostly because absolutely nobody is confronting the much more obvious and important point that it's exposing how self-contradictory our expectations around diversity are.

It went forward not because nobody foresaw potential issues, but because business demands overrode that foresight. It's not complicated.
