By that same logic, nobody should ever change anything about how they do business. We were doing it, clearly it was the thing that the business chose to do, if it weren't the best thing we ever did, we wouldn't have been doing it, ergo, we should not stop doing it.

But there have also been attempts to interpret parts of the Civil Rights Act to prohibit "disparate impact" which would effectively require DEI because neutral hiring practices could otherwise result in disparities in outcome as a result of external factors.
