At the time, a lot of them were little more than lipstick on a pig.

It took a long time to actually get to diversity that was beyond token "person of group" inclusivity.

Are we really beyond that now?

Many of the initiatives I've experienced are the same thing today, which is why I'm not a big fan.

Funny enough, to get to actual representative diversity you need to explicitly hire underrepresented candidates and pass up on white dudes. Which Scott famously complained about.

Damned if you do damned if you don’t.

If the initiatives that promoted diversity explicitly said that, they probably wouldn't have passed. The whole argument was about whether that was true because proponents would never be honest about that part so the public debate never got past that.
