The point here isn't actually to not offend, it's to have some byzantine set of rules to force on others
I remember at a job orientation a year or so ago, the HR people and management spent a long time talking at us about DEI shit. They asked for questions and one of the people in the audience brought up unconscious bias (which wasn't in their presentation for some convenient reason). They got kind of shitty with the guy. Not in any sort of non-plausibly-deniable way, they just changed the subject really fast
This is DEI in practice: it's some upper management head game where anyone who doesn't answer "I MOST CERTAINLY AGREE!!!1!1!" is doing it wrong
The real solution imo is DEI accelerationism: just crank the wokeness to the absolute maximum, to the point where management starts to reconsider opening their mouths about it. You can be a ridiculous asshole, just make sure you're on the woke side and there's very little they can do to retaliate
