The problem needs to be solved earlier along the chain than hiring. At education and marketing for education ideally. Companies should hire the best, but schools should be starting everyone off on the right track and the rest should work out.
This started as admonishment: that diversity, equity, and inclusion is an existing and important aspect of our education system that is being actively and unconstitutionally destroyed. It became something more, because the crisis we face if we allow the current situation to proceed is much greater than the degradation of our education->corporation pipeline.
The people that are reimplementing Jim Crow apartheid in America under the guise of protecting us from diversity, equity, and inclusion are the same people who have been actively undermining the education system in America, from banning accepted science such as evolution to clever extortion schemes diverting collective funds from public education to private religious/ideological indoctrination. As part of the elimination of diversity, equity, and inclusion from American society, Trump has mandated that schools teach a false version of American history that forbids acknowledging that the USA has ever done racist things. They are currently working to completely eliminate the Department of Education.
Meanwhile, in between threatening to arrest congresspeople, commentators, and journalists for clear first-amendment-protected speech and retweeting literal white supremacist propaganda, Elon Musk is guiding his strike team of blackhats and/or neonazis to completely purge the government of patriotic workers and destroy its ability to do anything but wage offensive wars and enforce the radical puritanical mores of millenarian "Christian" sects. The American people (and indeed, citizens of the developed world) currently exist in a hyperreality that requires self-deprivation to clear the fog of algorithmic far-right radicalization employed by our media companies social and traditional. We suck at that. The history of countries in analogous situations is bleak: we are rapidly approaching moral oblivion. There is not a human in this world who will remain unscathed by the devastation we unleash.
