No, that's just how white people are hired, so we need to combat that. White people who legitimately think a "free for all" type system doesn't greatly favor them are genuinely delusional.
Look, the reality is we live in a country where being white makes every aspect of your life a little easier. If you just "let" people hire whoever, they're gonna hire more white people than they should, because they are white. They've done studies on this - even just having a non-white sounding name on your resume slashes your odds of getting hired in half!
The idea that we somehow, at sometime, had an "equal" system is just not true. 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s whenever - these were times by, and for, the white man. No DEI, but actually yes we had extreme DEI, in the opposite direction. Hence why DEI was then created.
And before I hear anything, I'm white. I just have eyeballs and the ability to look around me.
