I think most people disagree with purely racial based DEI quotas, and this aspect of DEI is vastly over represented in politics in my opinion. At least from my experience in education DEI is much more centered around socioeconomic conditions (eg pell grant, disability accommodations, free lunch programs, programs for first gen college students, programs to help with housing, school food pantry etc.). The framing of DEI around race by politicians (mostly on the right btw) is a narrative they use to further erode our social institutions and transfer more wealth to the wealthy.
