See, this is exactly what I was referring to. It's "obvious" that these things happen as a result of DEI, but you provide no evidence for it. Some anecdotes, sure, but I want to see how it plays out broadly - I'm sure there are cases where it's good and cases where it's bad if you just pick anecdotes from the data! I also think calling out censorship for this is lazy, to be honest. I really doubt a topic as contentious as DEI has no useful data to prove your point.

You assume we are having some sort of discussion. Like I say sken rational argument, you say something back, than I refute it... Nobody gets cancelled, or death threats...

Old promise for DEI was to improve efficiency by unlocking potential in groups that could not work. Are there some data to suggest it is working? All I see is move from "equality" to "equity" bcos some people are just lazy.
Like dropping physical exam requirements for some groups in police force. And how some groups are more like to use lethal force, because they can not physically overpower the suspect.
Also in sports like chess, we strongly insist there are cognitive differences between groups.
But there is no point to have discussion about this. It was under strong censorship over several decades. Asking for "data" is just a meme today.
Soviet countries already went through this 60 years ago. People who had rich parents, had no chance to be accepted at university. Obviously Soviet government had strong "data" to support their policy.
