A bit tangential, but can anyone recommend a forum for productively debating the logic/ethics underpinning this kind of policy?

I'm deeply skeptical about lots diversity initiatives. But it's hard to find a place where I can subject my views to good scrutiny without also risking unemployment.

Here's my advice.

The evershifting and arbitrary nature of these standards is a guarantee that you will eventually fall afoul of it, face a kangaroo court trial in the DEI star chamber, and be burnt at the stake for your "crimes".

You can try and avoid it. It will come to you. The best place and time to fight it is right now. But you don't need to oppose it, you just need to not submit to it. [1]

there's a theory (from slate star codex originally, i think), that these things are evershifting on purpose, as they serve as a class/education marker. you've got to be smart enough and sufficiently in-touch with the right kinds of people to figure out how the standards are/will change.
