THE ONLY REASON they think that is because SOME people are put in their position because of the COLOR of their skin. Do you think Claudine Gay became President because the body of her work or by DEI. She checked off the female and Black box and they ignored her weak body of work and the fact that she plagiarized what little work that she did.
True Ben Carson is a case in point. The POINT is people don't know if their Black neurosurgeon is a Ben Carson or a Claudine Gay like DEI hire. .
Not true.
It is true not all white men are competent.
It was a true story. I also had a Black girl in my med school class that did very well. She was in the top 10% but she got there by merit. She had a 3.9 GPA and a 51 MCAT. I know this because she was in our study group and was a close friend.
I also had a friend in medical school and now my former partner that was half Mexican (technically) although he was very white. His mother was from two Spanish parents from Spain. His mother was born in Mexico where her father ran a silver mine.
Anyway I had a better GPA and MCAT than he did but Harvard sent him a invitation to interview and sent me nothing. 
He wanted to stay in Texas so he ended up at UT Southwestern where I went. He did get a full ride 4 year scholarship to med school because he was Mexican though.
