Additionally, you would be hard pressed to find a corporation of that size which hasn't made some kind of DEI pledge over the years. Here's a page on Nvidia 's website [1] talking about their supposed commitment to DEI. How are we to know that Nvidia's wild success of late isn't due to their inclusivity?

Of course we know Nvidia's rise has nothing to do with DEI, because we understand the context - there's an AI boom and they're selling shovels. By the same token, we know that Boeing's cultural rot has nothing to do with DEI, because people have been talking about this for decades.

Personally I think this is empty rhetoric companies employ to boost their stock price by getting included in ESG indexes. Political commentators on the right take advantage of this to fan the flames of culture war.

Don't fall for either side of this grift. It's just people talking their book.
