The repubtards like using DEI - it's like having a new N-bomb that's not limited to just one ethnicity that they hate. They've mostly moved on from 'woke,' probably because it didn't mean enough to really be useful as a racist dog whistle, being more generally hateful towards everyone they hate.
DEI is better for them because it hits two birds with one stone: their hatred of people darker than printer paper in the workplace, and their belief that ‘promoting people beyond their means’ (that is, people of color getting higher positions) destroys the very fabric of society.
The Alt-Right Playbook goes into it in more detail, but basically these numbskulls think that the proper way for we humans to live is in a rigid hierarchical society, with the Great And Wise Leaders at the top, and everyone on each tier of the pyramid ‘sticking to their lane’ and not trying to ‘rise above their station’.
Of course, they’ve decided that old white guys are the ones who should always be on the top of the pyramid, and enjoy all the benefits of society without owing anyone anything.
It’s why they love racist rhetoric; they’re always looking for some justification for them being higher up on the pyramid—which means, by default, more people need to be below them. With the magic of racism, they don’t need accomplishments or even money to achieve higher levels! Skin color alone bumps them up the ranks.

Also people started looking up what "woke" actually meant and getting woke as a result
