Every time I see a University (or anything really) attacked for DEI, its always a butthurt conservative over-privileged white male who no one can take seriously since all they do is whine.

When I was younger I used to work at a big bank under a team of advisors. I was the main associate for our group, but also lended backup assistance to two other groups. I had a situation where an FA - not the one I worked for - needed me to do a few tasks for him when his assistant was out; nothing crazy time-sensitive. The main way we communicated was through chat/email, and he would get upset when I prioritized my own group’s clients, regularly becoming verbally aggressive.
One day he decided to threaten me with calling HR, so I turned it around on him and replied “Let’s. I’m sure they’d be really curious to know why you think it’s acceptable to talk to me this way.” That one interaction changed his tune quick (apparently he’d already gotten complaints).
Don’t let the older generations bully you in the office. If you’re good at your job, do things by the book, and have receipts, threats are empty.

Genuinely the kindest and most down to earth people on the planet. My husband and I had the most amazing and hospitable experience there staying in a detached room (treehouse style) with a local family. The locals are so friendly - we were given food, helped with getting a rental car (they even gave us a ride there and spoke with the guy behind the counter), told of all the best places to explore, taken to the farmer’s market, and so much more. We were treated like visiting relatives.

TIL you can trademark everyday words in the NL. I need to read more about this!
Edit: turns out this is why
Dutch is so whimsical. I personally giggle at winkelwagen. Winkel = shop, wagen = cart. Also, love that they say helaas pindakaas, meaning “that’s too bad”, but if literally translated means “unfortunately, peanut butter.”
Or gendered. I do this in my friend group. I also grill, smoke, and bbq.
