I haven't seen it in my industry. I work in an aerospace-related field (airplanes)... and when you are dealing with aircraft you find out pretty quickly who knows what and who doesn't. Maybe there is less tolerance for office-nonsense (I don't know) when discussing safety-sensitive equipment and procedures... But DEI or diversity or ESG stuff literally has never come up? No-one every talks about it...

I've changed jobs a few times and my approach has always been to treat people equally and respectfully that's all I don't know why anything else is necessary.

The two political clown groups tend to really distort reality and yes the right has done that again with this topic but they aren't directionally wrong on it IMO.

I think it's just noise so the public doesn't deal with other issues - fiscal or economic in the US's competition with China.

This is why I asked. The industry matters a lot. Also it matters if you have worked in management. Also matters the size of the company.

When you design or operate systems worth tens of millions of dollars, weighing hundreds of thousands of pounds, moving 500+ miles per hour... no-one cares about your skin color. Anything else frankly would be just bizarre.
