I think a lot of these DEI grifters are seeing the writing on the wall and are starting to fear for their jobs and maybe their reputations. This particular one thinks it's only 'old white men' who oppose DEI. In my experience, my 'racialized' colleagues oppose it the most. They can't identify with the weird first world problems like 'misgendering' that these people are hung up on, and they don't want to be tokenized.

There was a study last year showing companies which pushed DEI stuff had INCREASED interracial tension in the office. This spawned a wave of "I'm the different DEI instructor type B which you need to hire to correct the type A DEI policies which were not taught correctly."

If you're a DEI professional, there's no reason to try to reduce racial tensions since that would eliminate the need for your job. It's generally a mistake to allow a profession to proliferate that depends on the existence of an ongoing problem that they are employed to "solve." If they solve it, they put themselves out of business. Much better to make it worse.
