Yes, I think supremacists, fascists, and bigots have done a great job equating being a decent person as a political standpoint. There was a brief time in history when it didn't matter the party or political standing, we saw that human rights and equality were important. Now, inclusion is now labeled as "woke" as if that is a bad thing.
This Part ^^. I don't know when being not a butt-monkey became being a snowflake. It is really is just a bunch of buzzwords to make people angry who have no idea why they are angry.

All the time - my best strategy is to bring it up in ways that don't "outright" scream DEI, but rather just as another perspective.
Proving the financial gain or positive impact of DEI is a good start per the respective projects. That’s always served me well when the cards were stacked. Measurable impacts and KPIs. The saying now is “go woke, go broke” so it’s now more important than ever to show those metrics. Additionally if you are able, attend a conference this Fall like Adcolor which arms DEI professionals with conversation and toolkits, workshops, etc. to have these convos and produce impactful results.
An Assistant Professor at Berkeley said it best, imo. She said that it's important to recognize when anyone (black or white) is being disingenuous because doing so hinders progress. Whenever folks overemphasize issues that aren't real or pertinent issues, that's a red flag.
