Post-George Floyd up until Donald Trump was elected, which is when this happened, was peak of this performative bullshit. Like renaming master to main or changing the the name of blacklists and whitelists would end racism, when all this language policing did was make people quietly resentful and was one factor in the backlash that followed.

And when Donald Trump was elected, a lot of the engine of that performative BS switched sides without missing a beat, and we went from corporate pinkwashing to corporate stinkwashing.
