I firmly believe that DEI and its neighbor ESG have become one giant scam. Anyway to demonstrate that your corporation, literature, or organization mimics the ideologically virtue-signaled narrative and you are more likely to get better funding/support/grants.
You're not the only one. I see DEI and ESGs as a giant scam as well. More people are starting to see them this way as well. Here's a take I enjoyed listening to by Capitalisn't: [The Smoke and Mirrors of ESG Investing with Tariq Fancy](https://capitalisnt.com/episodes/the-smoke-and-mirrors-of-es...)
Episode Summary
> Environmental, social and governance investing, also know as ESG, has exploded in recent years. It promises to help us solve problems like climate change and inequality all while allowing investors to still turn a profit.
>
> But BlackRock’s former global chief investment office for sustainable investing, Tariq Fancy, says it isn't what's being advertised. Recently, he penned a blog post claiming that not only are ESGs not making societal problems better, they may actively be making them worse.
