>DEI is toxic because it ignores most sources of inequality and favors a few groups
Not sure what "most sources of inequality" is supposed to mean. In any case, DEI is not intended to address every "source of inequality". By definition:
"DEI are organizational frameworks that seek to promote the fair treatment and full participation of all people, particularly groups who have historically been underrepresented or subject to discrimination based on identity or disability."
So, it is specifically intended to address historical targets of underrepresentation and discrimination.
>...of particular political importance to Democrats
The corollary is that anti-DEI favors a single group of particular importance to Republicans. Anti-DEI was a thing before there was DEI. That's the point of DEI. It's a response.
>sometimes DEI even favors groups who are on the advantaged side of inequality... nearly 60% of students.
It's easy to pick a statistic that we like. But, of course, this single stat is not dispositive of anything.
