    I’m confused by this phrase:

    this DEI gimmick

    What gimmick would that be? I can’t see anything in the text that this might refer to. Is this a translation issue? Because even the term “DEI” is at least unusual, that’s not a thing in Germany. I’d like to know what he said originally.

      DEI is definitely used in corporate environments. I understand this use of the term as “rightswashing”, where the corporate performs inclusivity without actually doing anything about it.
