uninclusive

Not welcoming all

Uninclusive describes something that fails to include or welcome all people, particularly those from diverse backgrounds or marginalized groups.

The word typically carries criticism—an uninclusive policy or environment excludes people who should belong: The hiring process was uninclusive and favored insiders.
