If you think this is actually about curbing DEI overreach, you’re missing the point. "DEI" and "woke" are just "CRT" in new packaging, i.e. pithy buzzwords used to activate right-wing rage about uppity/crazy/Marxist liberals and restore white, male, Evangelical cultural supremacy.
> Avoid requiring people to choose “Mr.” or “Ms.”. Many Americans prefer a different title or none at all.
This goes against 1950s style family values that Republicans prefer.
> Offer multiple languages.
This makes things more accessible to immigrants and people of color. Expect things in English only from here on out.
> For that matter, don’t require addresses from people who may not have a well defined address, e.g. people displaced by disasters.
Republicans tend to view the unhoused and destitute as a drain on resources. See prosperity gospel, etc.
In other words, DEI or not, removing all this content feels completely on brand.
