Don't expect corporations to join the DEI movement because they care about minorities. They do it for the money. When the wind of change arrives, some people might be surprised by how quickly and completely corps change their minds
What pisses me off is how utterly willing any given minority is willing to boot-lick a corporation because of a rainbow avatar or 50 word statement of support or whatever.
Corporations will, at best, pretend to be your friend until it's no longer convenient for them to do so, then your ass is out on the street.
Don't fall for it when they change their mind again, because they are at very best minimal-effort dont-rock-the-boat-too-hard temporary performative allies.
In our country, that's laughably obvious. How can I tell? Companies in their "inclusive" visuals use people of "minorities" not actually present in our country. So the message falls flat. If they really would like to believably support inclusion, they could include some members of the real oppressed minorities which we do have locally. But no, they import their messaging from abroad.
It was funny when Europeans would use BIPOC. Like 90% of us are indigenous and Americans invented that term specifically to exclude us.
