And yet people will shit on DEI efforts. Incorporating more folks into the scientific endeavor helps combat things like stagnation in science precisely because it reduces academic incest.

That was not the topic of OP's post or this really.

DEI efforts discriminate against Asians like Jinyoung, so yes, I will shit on them.

[Ar-Curunir]

Not. Necessarily, given that DEI efforts are not one-dimensional. They consider factors like first-generation, geneder, class background, etc.

(I am an Asian male, so I really have nothing to selfishly benefit from promoting DEI efforts)

Well, one problem when discussing DEI is there are many implementations of it. My own own departments only considers race or gender, and really only focuses on gender. Although I know many DEI programs really do take a more holistic view of what diversity means.
