In a ideal world your definition is right. BUT here in the real world ,employers are afraid not to hire the minority because of all the legal issues that person would create if not hired. Our state favors and hires minority owned contractors over larger companys and the citizens suffer because the work is subpar, the job is half done,the company declares chapter 13 to escape repercussions and the road or sidewalk just plain sucks for the people to use for years .just a example,
It is past time to ditch dei and allow employers to be able to hire the most qualified person for the job without fear of repercussions. It is called hiring by merit. is the employee worth the money? can they do the job? Will they do the job?
