The 3 paragraphs under "WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?". This is akin to discussing veganism and saying "Veganism has a history of being supported by Hitler". Irrelevant dirtying by proxy.

In some other case that could be explained by the author unnecessarily wanting to give a historical context that nobody asked for and brushed aside. But in this case the low quality of the article is a common theme and such DEI remarks are only strengthening the overall negative impression. At this point it is not an one-off, but a part of an established pattern. DEI is not at all the biggest problem with the article.
