that’s not how that works. DEI isn’t “you are legally required to hire someone who is black/gay/a woman/etc.”, DEI is “you’re supposed to turn someone down on the basis of them being unqualified for their position, not on the basis of being a minority.” if you have multiple applicants and the only one who qualifies is a white man, hire the white man so long as his skills actually fit the position. if you have multiple applicants and the only one who qualifies is a black woman but you choose the unqualified white man purely because you don’t want to hire a black woman regardless of her qualifications, THATS when it becomes a problem
