Yes, hiring a no-hire engineer to meet DEI quotas is completely unacceptable, but who is going to risk their job to suggest that? A culture of fear has been created around speaking out against stuff like this.

Thus, the DEI bubble in any corporation is completely insulated from checks and balances or internal critical feedback.
