They didn't need DEI because they were naturally diverse (in universe, at least).

gene wanted risa to be so much gayer

He wanted the whole show to be like that, seeing as he also wanted to put an LGBT character in TOS. He just got vetoed, and it ended before then.

Trek always has been and always will be woke. As others have said, in Gene’s eyes it wasn’t even woke enough! (And he was right)
