DEI is a poor practice imo, because you're hiring people based on box ticking exercises, rather than on one of the more important areas.

Like for example:

1. Is the person actually good at their job?

2. If they're not technically the best at their job, are they still needed because it makes sense for the situation that you're in? Like for example if the Police are investigating a case where a Muslim woman has been assaulted, typically speaking she'll be more likely to open up to an officer that is also a Muslim woman, than she would be towards a guy especially, or towards someone with little in common with her on first impression.

It's not just Muslim women that are like this obviously, but it's just the example that I'm using.

And 3. Obviously like any group of people out there, companies have to take a gamble on youngsters, that are looking for a bit of work experience.

But obviously the hiring should be based on the individuals potential at the job, rather than what order the bosses want off the menu at that given moment.
