    The number of unqualified people who are hired/have been hired based on who they know vs what they know probably far outweighs mishandled DEI policies.

    I agree, but as I said, making it obvious and giving it a name (DEI) creates an easy target to point at when assholes rouse hate against minorities. So as I said, I don’t think it is worth it in the long term.

    Plus, it probably also helps create/reinforce the subconscious notion that minorities need help to qualify for jobs, rather than being equal.
