There is a growing backlash against diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in the United States, particularly among major corporations.

Critics, such as Robby Starbuck and Edward Blum, have voiced their concerns about companies' commitment to DEI, resulting in several prominent firms, including Walmart, Boeing, Ford, and Lowe's, scaling back or abandoning their DEI efforts.

This trend has gained momentum following Donald Trump's reelection, as his administration previously issued an order that prohibited government contractors from conducting bias training. With Trump expected to return to the White House in January, it is anticipated that this directive will be reinstated, further influencing corporate policies on DEI initiatives.
