Not only do a solid majority of people think DEI is a good thing, it really is a good thing for business, improving the ability to manage change, increasing innovation, and increasing earnings.
So why are MAGA Republicans up in arms against DEI?
It couldn't have anything to do with racism, could it?
A few references are in my reply below.
Most Americans approve of DEI, according to Post-Ipsos poll - The Washington Post

@joeinwynnewood an important part of the picture is the impression that it's being forced from above and not simply adopted as reasonable based on the situation.
It's one thing to say, you do what's best for your company and your clients and your institution. It's another thing to say you must do this regardless of whether it's for the best or not.
It has a lot to do with micromanaging, particularly from a government that people have lost faith in.
