Is approval of affirmative action or DEI policies a mark of basic respect for people of all walks of life?

In the institutions I’m familiar with, DEI is basically a statement about respect for people from diverse backgrounds and the DEI committee is a couple of people who organize an annual cultural fair or something similar. It’s crazy to me how blown out of proportion that simple acronym has become over the last few years.
Everything gets judged by its worst members, you can't just say that it was fine were you are and then conclude it was fine everywhere.
