DEI is no different to any other militant ideology.
Blessed are the unlucky, for they shall unite to overthrow the status quo and become oppressors in their own right.
So ...you admit to the reality of oppression (eg greed- based, like Bezos refusing to air-condition his warehouses for the benefit of his workers) - that's a good start.
But a good (functional) economy will work for everyone, not just the most advantaged.
Regardless of "DEI"....
Nothing works for everyone.
Another excuse, as cover for a 'survival of the fittest' / 'natural individual rights' ideologue.
Of course the state can guarantee housing and jobs for all, learn about the
history, nature and deployment of money, in states with a fiat currency (see the recent post in the MMT thread).

There will always be the less competitive, who will nevertheless prosper in a functional economy which works for all.
As oppsed to a 'survival of the fittest' economy.
Interesting to see a group of billionaires at Davos urging politicians to increase taxes on wealth globally (envious???), to avoid the destructive inequality and economic and ecological collapse on the horizon.
