Those people who are triggered by the word “inclusiveness”

No one is "triggered" 🙄. It's just a term that's used by the DEI/ESG squad that basically gives them a free defense squad when they use it to do a stupid thing.

Those of us who are rational will recognise it for what it is; Spin to justify a decision based on maximising profit.

You're not disagreeing with me. The problem is that what the DEI/ESG squad think will maximise profit - pandering to the minorities - usually backfires massively. Those of us who are rational know that pandering to the minority isn't smart because you put off the majority.
