Lol what do you define as the "dei era" ? I think if during any timeframe 95% of new hires were non white people would notice. This is the real nonsense


Yeah, the lack of a source makes it clear this is BS.

It's based in a bit of truth. Yes, there were 300,000 jobs created in 2021, and 94% did go to people of color. However, these were non-professional roles (service workers, laborers) that were coming back as COVID died down.

As far as new executive, managerial and professional roles, the share of people of color increased by just 2%.

So which is it? Is it clear that it's BS, or is it "based a bit in truth"?

Do you think that all white people are executives and professionals, such that they don't need laborer/service jobs?
