DEIhysteria: When the U.S. Tries to Cancel Inclusion in Europe

Par Iker Del Rio / 31 mars 2025

Imagine this: you’re a company in Paris, Brussels or Amsterdam, proud of your inclusive policies, flying the rainbow high. Then you get a letter from the U.S. embassy telling you to stop. Why? Because an old Trump-era executive order banning DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) still applies to all companies working with the U.S. government—regardless of where they operate.

Yes, Uncle Sam is now exporting his culture wars. Who knew the land of the free had such strong opinions about European HR practices?

France and Belgium were quick to respond: “These are not our values.” Thank you. But the fact remains—this is diplomatic pressure to dismantle progress. Worse still, some British companies are already bending under the weight. WPP, one of the world’s largest ad agencies, has quietly deleted all mentions of DEI from its latest reports. Afraid of losing American dollars, they’re erasing queer and racial representation in silence.

Let’s be clear: this is not about “anti-woke” nonsense anymore. This is about power, money, and control. What started as far-right hysteria in the U.S. is now crossing the Atlantic like ideological malware. Europe must not catch the virus.

Being queer in Brussels isn’t a fashion statement—it’s a reality. And that reality needs safe spaces, political will, and true inclusion. DEI isn’t a corporate buzzword. It’s a lifeline.

Let’s not let America export its worst ideas. We’ve got enough on our plate!
