When faced with two evenly matched employees, choose the one that increases diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace.
The candidates are equally qualified… If a straight, white, male candidate is more qualified than a black lesbian woman, then nothing is stopping them from going with the white dude. DEI is only meant to come into play when the candidates are equal in all other aspects.
If you’ve experienced it done wrong, that’s a bummer… Doesn’t mean we should do away with it completely. Worst case, we end up erring on the side of having more diversity. Oh no. How awful.
The current and historical framework has meant that straight, white, dudes are the default. So if we’re “accidentally” going the other way sometimes, then I can live with that. I say this as a straight, white, male.

Congrats, you agree with DEI.
