Having worked in companies that had diversity officers, equality officers and the like, I understand full well how it all works. DEI (to use the American acronym) is a political ideology. It's about promoting certain groups (women, Blacks, "LGBTQI+", etc.) at the expense of others. And like I said before, there are laws in place to prevent unfair discrimination in hiring and promotion, making such roles completely superfluous.
You really don't understand EDI. It's about encouraging and tapping the potential of various minority/disadvantaged groups. But sure, you know best.
As for the "poor straight white male", I think you might want to look at statistics on educational attainment among men and boys before being so dismissive in this regard. I remember reading not that long ago that the most underperforming group of pupils in the British education system was white, working-class boys. It never ceases to amaze me how some well-to-do white people think that, because they're doing fine, all other white people must be too. That's a very selfish attitude to have.
I'll ignore your offensive assumptions and just say that you are being extremely naive if you really think straight white males of any class get the raw deal.
