Not sure how to make this clear, but the entire "diversity" industry is a PR hustle, nothing more. Do what they want for temporary positive PR (until the next round of grifting) or they'll make a PR mess for you by calling you racist and stuff. Be strong. That's good PR.
The PR mess they make for you is really just a two-minute hate (like a five-minute hate, but on social media, so shorter-lived and more pointless). It passes (and looks for softer targets) if you ignore it. It's cheaper just not to indulge it, and in many cases, better PR.
If you've read my sweet new essay about pseudo-reality, the PR disaster they threaten you with (this is extortion, btw) is paramoral, i.e., not real. They'll call you racist by standards that only exist in nonsense pseudo-reality. The way that's beaten is just not to participate.
If you participate, you forfeit your own moral authority and make yourself more susceptible to the same grift later because you have less (or no) ground to stand on. Better not to do it, even if you do take a PR hit in the short term that does some real damage (probably won't).
Now pause to consider what you get for capitulating. A better product? Probably not. Better service? No. Better product-to-customer? No. Improved bottom line? No. Improved PR? Not for long, if at all. And it's going to COST you, then hit you again harder later bc you caved.
You might think you're getting a shield against some kind of liability, but not really. It's a scam. Worst-case, you eat some liability damages, but for the most part, that's going to be cheaper than signing up for the parasitic cycle of going along with it.
The only thing you get out of doing "diversity" crap is a temporary reprieve from the heat and a tiny bit of (temporarily) marketable PR (you'll look stupid for this later, unless we flip into their world, in which case, life and business will suck anyway).
My recommendation: learn to recognize "diversity" for what it is: a hustle, a scam, a con that plays off your sensibilities about public relations and some (but way less than you think) legal liability. It's a very expensive way to buy yourself more trouble and a bit of status.
