I think the implication is that multiculturalism is very hard to get right, and that one solution to it is to be very careful all the time. This leads to a sort of vague blandness that has become more prominent in the Bay area over the past few years. If you don't want to be cancelled, just don't say potentially controversial things.
The thing with unique, interesting group identities (like in Stanford social groups) is that they will, invariably, offend and push some people's boundaries. This over the years has been viewed more and more negatively (as a solution to multiculturalism imho). When cancellations abound and price of offense is high, just make everything as neutral as possible. 580, 610, 113, whatever.

But people's souls get slowly sucked out of them.
