    The context was DEI.

    I think we knew that.

    DEI done correctly doesn’t mean “less qualified”. It means dig deeper in the qualified pool perhaps with measures like mentoring & networking to bring them into the pool. A preponderance of research commonly shows systematic bias in the hiring process against minority names when resumes & jobs applications are otherwise identical. DEI includes accounting for that tendency in the past & counteracting it.

      I think we knew that.

      You might have, no one else seems to. They all think he was making blanket statements about race, rather than speaking specifically about DEI hires.
