DEI programs benefit many groups, not just Black and brown communities

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs aim to help historically marginalized groups in the workplace, expanding on the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which outlawed employment discrimination based on race and other factors.
Many groups, including White women and LGBTQ+ people, have benefited from DEI programs, with 76% of chief diversity officer roles held by White individuals according to Zippia.
Critics, including President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, argue that DEI practices overlook merit, while advocates claim that scaling back these programs would harm underserved groups.
DEI initiatives also promote family-forming benefits and support for disabled veterans, ensuring inclusivity and equal opportunities in various workplaces.
