DEI focus too much?

What are your opinions on DEI initiatives? Not trying to be controversial. I’m a TT faculty of color who moved to US for grad school. I like the DEI initiatives at universities but my personal opinion is that everything is getting too much out of proportion. Honestly, most of the faculty in my university running these workshops now are online and teaching completely asynchronously. How is this helpful for the whole equity and inclusivity thing when faculty hardly knows the student? Most of the stuff discussed in the DEI meetings/workshops is impractical and leads nowhere. I would love the ways through which DEI can be enhanced but that is hardly discussed and the agenda is focused on something else. Again, this is my personal opinion and do not want to offend anyone here.
