The problem is companies do DEI as marketing, and equal opportunity is invisible. If there are fewer black ballet dancers it doesn't necessarily mean that there's discrimination or racial barriers, it could just be that black people are less interested in that career. Further, different communities vary greatly in age, for example. The median age for Mexican Americans is 25, compared with 49 for American Jews. So you would expect to see a big difference in distribution for, say, senior positions within these racial groups even in a world with zero racial discrimination.
