alt Hacker News> Also DEI benefits!
Ah, you accidentally showed your hand there. DEI does not provide benefits; it seeks to prevent continued, assumedly unfair, selection processes. Whether or not that is appropriate, or if the system was unfair, is arguable; fictitious "benefits" are not.
No one gets a DEI check from the government. But since you don't even see that others around you have disabilities, we can't really expect you to know much more than Fox tells you.

I don't know how you can define DEI without enumerating benefits these policies provide to certain groups of people, some of which, like the ones being discussed, have very flexible boundaries.

We are discussing private institution(s). But if left unchecked that could expand to local governments.

Oh, I've seen plenty of people who had disabilities for the purposes of draft/mandatory military service.

Your ability to figure out other people's information sources is most certainly no better than my ability to figure out if people have mental disabilities.

So it is not a benefit to be hired for a role over your peers because you satisfy an ethnic requirement needed for an arbitrary quota? I dont know about you, I'd sure love to have that on my side.
