Real DEI is tried. But everyone complains about the sucky implementations.

Here's an equity implementation that seemed to work: https://www.corporatecomplianceinsights.com/how-successful-d...

> Schulman realized he had to do something about the large gap between the lower-paid employees and the rest of the company. “Imagine asking people to double down on serving customers when they’re more financially stressed than ever before, when they don’t even have healthcare benefits,” he told Insider. So PayPal raised wages for lower-level workers by about 7 percent – not a huge amount, but enough to ease money worries – and gave them restricted stock units so they could share in PayPal’s success. The company also covered more healthcare costs, cutting the amount lower-level employees contribute by around 58 percent.

Here is a diversity initiative enacted politically: https://www.hrdive.com/news/virginia-outlaws-hair-discrimina...

> Discrimination based on hair texture, type and hairstyles such as braids, locks and twists will be illegal in Virginia starting July 1. Gov. Ralph Northam signed a bill on March 4 that “clarifies” that when the law bans discrimination “on the basis of race,” that includes “traits historically associated with race, including hair texture, hair type, and protective hairstyles such as braids, locks, and twists.”

I'm sure I could fine more examples if I didn't have a meeting in 5 minutes.
