You just have a problem with capitalism. Nearly all companies’ DEI efforts are fake because they’re about marketing. They don’t care about using their resources to ensure that they have hiring practices that don’t put a spotlight in the places where white people congregate. I got laughed out of the room when I pointed out that my company never attempts to find candidates at HBCUs. Or, frankly, any place that isn’t Stanford or MIT. It’s cheap for them to lie, saying “oh sure we give a shit!” and then literally do the same thing every brain dead recruiting team “thinks” up for a strategy.

Also, until a company would fire someone for being racist, any DEI work there is meaningless. And I’m not talking hooded-klan level racism (that one you can just sue and win it’s so cut and dry).
