I'm genuinely curious how you know which ones are which. Is it indicated like on their badge?

  Wonder if it's their skin tone or their accent? Maybe it's something else completely nondiscriminatory like their IQ or which university they went to.

  I’d assume that demographics should somewhat match real demographics. If your country is 50% white people and 50% black people, you’d see that in hiring in general with some variance. You’d probably have to adjust for socioeconomic level etc. It’s no good if all the hires in the low paying jobs are one type of people. I don’t think it’s impossible to tell even if “99%” is hyperbole.

    > I’d assume that demographics should somewhat match real demographics. At work? I doubt that. Only for a job available to anyone and chosen by everyone. I don't think there's any jobs even roughly like that. People get jobs and then their social and professional network now has someone who works at $BIGCO. Now folks can see themselves there and apply for openings, which could accelerate this effect. Now you can see minorities hired on merit, showing up in clusters. > I don’t think it’s impossible to tell even if “99%” is hyperbole. I dunno - it just seems like "majority ethnicity implies merit, minority implies DEI" to me.
