All polemic aside — isn't there a value in making a nuanced statement? Let's for example take people who can be in principle against weapons deliveries into conflicted regions, but realize in some cases delivering weapons is the better option. They are non-dogmatic on this opinion, because to them the outcome counts more how the gesture makes them look.
Similarily you have people who realize diversity, inclusivity and equal opportunity are good goals, but there is certain actors whose way of trying (or pretending?) to get there just are not good and sometimes downright destructive of the very goals that they claimed should be reached.
But as much as things like diversity and inclusivity might seem like a fashion, for some people they are part of a world that they rather live in. So they are not just mere symbolic tokes or boxes to be ticked that make you look good to your peers, but part of an urge to leave this world in an better condition than we entered it in — and how we treat each other is a part of that, but by far not the only one.
