Company after company have made statements they will have x% of certain positions filled by people of specific races. You don’t achieve that without taking race into consideration when choosing people to work there.
No. What they’re being told is to hire all races in proportion to their population in the country. White people are not better at doing anything than other races.

I think this is doing a disservice to one of the goals of DEI. White people are more qualified for certain types of jobs because historically they’ve had better access to education and healthcare. Even if access has become more equal lately, there are still other barriers that take longer to remove (eg. being the first person in the family to go to university, not having wealthy parents, etc.)
That has nothing to do with racial attributes though, just with racist systems. This distinction is important, and intentionally ignored by people who whine about diversity, equality, and inclusion.

DEI can counterbalance this.
