I'm a bit confused, or maybe I've been doing it wrong. DEI-related things don't usually go in Broader Impacts, do they? When I've written grants, Broader Impacts was just generally for "how is your research going to help society?"; it was the Broadening Participation in Computing section that was oriented toward DEI.

You're right, and also it's both. Broader Impacts covers "increasing and including the participation of women, persons with disabilities and underrepresented minorities in STEM" as an option, but BPC covers this more explicitly. I really doubt that the people implementing this policy care that much.
