Meta's memo to employees rolling back DEI programs

I think it's pretty obvious that SCOTUS and VP nominations aren't covered by EEOC and the like, and you're going to have a hard time ham-fisting "diversity hire" into those roles.

> > I've interviewed candidates for DEI specific roles.

This means one of two things. Either they're interviewing for roles on the DEI team, or "I had a role to fill and was told I had to hire a [black, hispanic, female, non-white] person."

The first one doesn't really have anything to do with the comment they're replying to. The second one is blatantly illegal but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. And the next sentence and its tone supports that interpretation.

Is there a third interpretation I'm missing?

The first does have something to do with what he's commenting on. That said, the original poster can clarify since they're on HN, rather than us speculating.
