I think this is a quick explanation.

Many people on the left complain about the “old boys club” where “white men” hire each other and control all the power without merit for their authority, and DEI seems to be a way to smash the patriarchal old boys club and enforce the new regime where women, and minorities are in control.

Shouldn’t the people be wary of any type of authoritarian cabal?

Yeah, and how do you expect the status quo authoritarian cabal to be dismantled while they are in power?

Not by replacing one authoritarian cabal with another authoritarian cabal!

If the system isn’t working, fix the system don’t just adapt the broken system to serve your needs.

Fixing the system has always worked by a tug-of-war between the status quo and a opposite reaction to it to find a new middle.

I don't know of any other way a social system has been fixed that couldn't be reduced to this approach.

If others are just as capable, then there's no need to change any of the requirements, right? Why is it happening then?
