This term emerged prominently in corporate America in the 2010s-2020s. In Brazil, while diversity work exists in multinational corporations and progressive companies, the DEI professional role is less established than in the United States. In Portugal, the terminology is even less common. The role has become increasingly controversial in the US political discourse as of 2023-2024, with some viewing DEI professionals as essential for workplace equity and others criticizing DEI initiatives as divisive.
