8. The whole "unqualified" hiring claim is frustrating because it's patently untrue.

No employer, not even an employer with a strong DEI program, is going to hire an UNQUALIFIED person, period. The preference for hiring a minority is simply a preference for offering the job to a QUALIFIED minority rather than a QUALIFIED straightwhitemale whenever the option presents itself, i.e. whenever both persons have jumped through the hiring hoops and are found to be qualified for the job.

Veterans get a strong hiring preference at many employers, but weirdly you never hear conservatives complain about "unqualified veterans" being hired into demanding jobs and endangering the public. Yet the process is generally the same as DEI hiring.
