You asked "What kind of discrimination isn't covered by motives of nepotism or DEI?" One of my examples was how women couldn't be in combat roles until recently. Is that 'Nepotism'? No, not unless you have a very strange definition of "tribe" such that men and women are in different tribes. Is that 'DEI'? No, not unless you have a very strange definition of culture such that men and women are in different cultures. In both of those strange definitions, where do you stop? How does the tribe of "American" overlap with the tribe of "woman" overlap with the tribe of "State U. graduate" overlap with the culture of "Southern" overlap with the culture of "menopausal" overlap with the culture of "home owner", and so on. And to be clear, discrimination is not always bad. We have bona fide occupational qualifications, like how a church can discriminate on the basis of religion, and a strip club is not required to accept male strippers. We have age restrictions, like how the president must be at least 35 years old. We can fire people with excessively foul body order, even if they have the right job skills. So when you ask "What kind of discrimination isn't covered by motives of nepotism or DEI?", the range is quite large.
