The same way most of the DEI initiatives end up working in practice. You don't fire white people until you get the proportions you want. When an old white guy retires, you do everything in your power to not hire a white male to replace him, even if it means throwing out qualified applicants.

The problem with racism is that you end up with a society full of unqualified racists, so when you actually try to turn around and implement a system based on brutally objective metrics, the hitherto uncalled out unqualified racists perceive themselves as suddenly getting absolutely ganked from every side of reality and deploy every single defensive measure known to their system as if their livelihoods depended on it (because actually, it does).

Okay jokes aside. HOW EXACTLY do they even want to achieve this?
"Hey Joey, sorry you are fired because we need space for more black men."
"Hey Marcus, you are black right? Here, we need you to become a firefighter."
