  “DEI hire” has a different definition depending on whether you’re talking about design or implementation.

    Neither of those are DEI.

      Also the “Implementation” part just sounds like what a really shitty company wound do, primarily trying to monetise on “DEI” … wtf.

      I see his fully fleshed explanation, but I don’t see a counter? Not that I have any strong opinion, just curious what DEI actually means.

        DEI isn't intended to be "colorblind", it explicitly suggests that employers give consideration to applicants from disparaged demographics, who may have otherwise been ignored during the application process. It doesn't imply hiring quotas.

        Many people seem to confuse DEI for Affirmative Action, as evidenced above. This article explains the differences pretty succinctly: https://natlawreview.com/article/dei-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-v-affirmative-action-they-are-not-same
