    anti-DEI is pretty much code for “only white straight cisgendered males welcome”. Whatever criticisms may make sense against select DEI initiatives, the anti-DEI move by the government basically involved erasing all acknowledgement of any minority or woman ever being honored for accomplishments, no matter how obviously well earned the honor was.

    On a global perspective, the American flavor of “anti-DEI” panders to a relatively small group of folks at the expense of offending the vast majority of the world’s population.

      Ok, but how does this like vibe with a country like China, which demands that Disney and other western media companies censor LGBT things all the time?

      What does DEI mean in respect to Disney, does it just mean changing existing characters to their non-white equivalent?
