I never implied that DEI was worse than no DEI. In fact I said I mostly liked it. Also only doing DEI when there is profit is the definition of DEI to companies. Companies are not doing DEI because it’s the right thing to do. They’re doing it because it makes them the money that they’ve left on the table by being racist, sexist, or whatever.

I’ve talked to the DEI consultant. “If being equitable loses money, then don’t do it.”
