This culture war shit is pathetic. "DEI" has become a dogwhistle (if one can even call it that at this point) for "I don't like black people/brown people/women", and they all shamelessly parrot it with their whole chest. Good on the PSF for doing the right thing and calling this garbage out for what it is.
It's a fairly inevitable reaction to cancel culture. This was predicted and warned against when left-wing cancel culture was at its height, but people didn't listen. Now we have right-wing cancel culture instead.
I don't think I've seen left wing cancel culture in my lifetime. I doubt it has ever happened in the USA at all, actually
There are some examples in the very first list I found googling for "cancel culture examples".
Not all of them are political (e.g. cancelling someone for sexual assault is clearly not, and that Heineken one... how??), but a decent number are, e.g. number 6 is about as partisan as you can get.
