“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.
