So any attempt at pretending that there isn’t an anti-meritocracy angle to this would be disingenuous to say the least.

DEI initiatives aren’t perfect, and like anything else you have individuals who may misapply or overzealously apply their principles, causing a different sort of problem.

To deny that, or to pretend that such misapplication is the typical mainstream application of DEI principles, would be equally disingenuous.
