Ok... but everyone* who is a DEI hire is worse at their job than the merit based hires. So you can look at the lot of bad employees at work, eliminate the white males, and there's your group of potential DEI hires.
*I'm sure there are less than a handful of situations where a company is in a situation where they must hire someone of a specific race to reach the DEI quota, and in comes such a potential hire who is also absolutely outstanding. So now when they fall under the DEI employees "category," it is only nominal, because the company has to present them that way, despite actually hiring them on a merit. Outside of this rare circumstance, the DEI hires are going to be unqualified. (Other merit based hires whom a company identifies as "DEI" hires also don't count as true DEI hires. The company wanted to hire them, which flies in the face of the need for DEI).
