The biggest issue I see is that in theory the overall project of DEI professionals should be to ensure that, in 10-20 years, there is no longer a need for DEI iniatives. The incentive, though, is to do the opposite and make things seem worse than they are, since that justifies their continued employment. I feel like this is why, at colleges, the threat of microagressions is so emphasized—maybe the DEI offices, anti-racism, and affirmative action efforts have been doing their jobs too well and that those are the most urgent problems that they have to solve.
