Dick's Sporting Goods explains DEI in one simple store poster.

57. I am involved in several non-profit charitable organizations

Over recent years, we were required to publish specific "DEI" policies. Prior to that, we had long traditions of inclusion and anti-discriminiation, and published that ethic along with our mission statement.

In other words, our mission and culture information looked a lot like what Dick's has just presented. It told a good story and nobody had any trouble understanding what we believe and how we operate. Nonetheless, in order to qualify for grants, we replaced that information with pages that were particularly modeled around "DEI". Nobody knows WTF DEI is, but it was necessary for granting purposes.

And now that DEI is illegal, we are going back to what we had before. We can tell the story without ever saying "equity", "inclusion" or "diversity." Of those 3 words, I find "diversity" the one that I miss the most because its meaning is quite clear. You can't really fake diversity. Equity and inclusion are really vague and buzzwordy, so I don't miss them at all.
