If she was only considered because they were only going to hire a woman then she would be a DEI hire. I don't think that this would be difficult, even if you are yawning. If the goal is to hire from a specific group, or to exclude a specific group you think is over represented, then you have yourself a DEI hire.
Now... What I would propose is removing the names, etc. from resumes and hiring by qualifications. If you get RBG at that point, that would not be a DEI hire and it removes any supposed privilege one might have.
If you are making decisions based on melanin content to either include or exclude folks from your hiring, you are making a DEI hire, and one I would surmise is racist and/or sexist to boot.
I think you make a poor assumption about my ancestry if you claim to know what I think because I am "white"... I'm exactly as white as Barack Obama.
