It's not entirely the executives' fault. The ambiguities in civil rights law mean that often one has to employ a more politically radical HR department to shield against lawsuits.

I was looking for a link I know exists about this. Do you happen to know the very long article, or maybe book that was written about this topic?

Interesting! I overlooked that reference.
Another, more polemical book on the subject would be Christopher Caldwell's Age of Entitlement, which I haven't had a chance to read yet, but from what I understand makes the argument that the 1964 Civil Rights Act caused these issues.
