Your question has expressed my point. I don't question that the EDI initiatives are intended to help people who are disadvantaged, who have a harder time in life and who have conditions beyond their control that make it harder to get ahead, etc.
I completely understand that EDI initiatives are well intentioned. I also think they are counterproductive, because they make it harder to have unity, say, between men and women, between gay and straight people and between dark-skinned and light-skinned people. That common humanity.... If you're always emphasizing that you belong to a victims group or you're in an oppressor group, that is so counterproductive to getting along and respecting each other.
Again, these initiatives have good intentions, but I think they're destructive and toxic, and they undermine social trust between people.
