re: Elon asks M Cuban when 'short white/Asian women' will play for the Mavs due to DEI

My company spent a lot of money hiring DEI people. There was a huge round of layoffs recently, including HR, and guess what group was spared? Of course.

We are now obligated to attend so many DEI sessions every quarter. In each session, they spend an inordinate amount of time reminding everyone who has "privilege", who doesn't, how to "unpack it" and "stay grounded" for exercises where we are told if we fit in one group, we are racist, sexist, whatever.

After all of that, we are then reminded each session that we are still going to hire the most qualified person, but we also need to push people in these groups to parts of the hiring process even if they aren't qualified. We also get audited on how many minorities are put through parts of the process.

Fortunately for me, this company includes ALL races (outside of white) as diverse....for now. I expect that to change in the next few years as well. I've been at places where we were flat out told there was only "one" minority.
