Give examples.

Was it me?
I'm happy with my position.
but looping back, how do they determine who to hire when they have a black or woman candidate and a white male candidate of equal talent?

You do realize that's exactly what DEI programs are designed to prevent, right?When you are making hiring decisions on the basis of racism, sexism, exclusivity, or other non-work-related measures you are weakening and ultimately potentially destroying your company. DEI is ALL BAD. There is no upside to it.

DEI training and its dangerous, counterproductive impacts
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives typically purport goals of combating bias and promoting inclusivity, but an experiment on the topic has found that its pedagogy produces hostile attribution bias.

The reality is, that's exactly what they do. They increase racism, sexism, etc., while lowering standards and accepting mediocrity in the name of DEI.

You haven't provided any evidence of such thing.

Are you talking about your anecdotes?

No, I'm talking about examples. You asked I use "pilots" as the example. I did. American Airlines has a QUOTA for pilot training of 50% minorities and females. Either they accept potential shortages, or they lower standards to meet that unless there is a pool large enough of potential candidates that they can pick and choose from. In any case, it is a QUOTA system, and they are not taking the best applicants regardless of race or gender.
That's one of several examples I gave.

Ok. Let's say you're correct. Are there any complaints about their abilities/talents? Any disasters?

Agreed. At least not in my industry. Everyone is qualified. What's also true is that, in an effort to diversify, a slightly less technically qualified applicant may be hired but they are always qualified. Most professions required certification or a license. The fucking gub'ment, amirite?
All the White Nationalists see is a darker skinned male or female get a job ahead of them. They want to make it a law that white males go first. Another reason why they want to "restore" the Constitution to just the Bill of Rights and delete all the other Amendments.

And it also makes sure that LGBTQ and other minority group people are treated fairly whether in hiring or while employed. In fact, it has more to do with fair treatment of ALL employees than it does with affirmative action.

How are quotas fair?
Makes you sound like your fabled nonqualified, lazy DEI hire. lol
How much I hope that that is so.

No, I was massively overqualified, that's what the management panic was about.
