Left wing site HuffPost is as usual claiming things are raaacist. Apparently Elon Musk posted that DEI concerns had airlines and aircraft manufacturers hiring less qualified people for inspection and QC jobs. This view they grandly proclaim is racist. Nonsense, of course, Musk is correct.
DEI only makes sense if you believe people not only have equal rights under the law but are, in fact, exactly equal in every way, including intellect and skills. If that were true half the players in the NBA would be white, because half the population is white.
Hiring people for reasons other than ability means lowered ability among those hired. DEI does exactly that, prioritizing skin color over demonstrated ability to do whatever the job requires.
It is done for the sake of appearances, and it lowers the overall skill level in whatever field to which it is applied. It emphasizes the wrong criterion - skin color - instead of demonstrated ability to perform.
