The evidence is well-documented and overwhelming, as are the witnesses to it, news stories, etc.. Are you saying it's all false?

Maybe you didn't know what you were seeing? People don't often openly say, 'I'm not hiring them because they are black'. They don't necessarily think it; they think, 'I'm not as comfortable with this person' and 'I don't know how they'll fit into our team', without even realizing why.

DEI trains people to be aware of those feeling and thoughts and double-check them. Most people don't want to make decisions in that way and appreciate the training.

Exactly this. It's all about awareness.

IMO companies that enforce quotas are not really trying to fix the problem but just forcing the numbers to look good. Because quotas are not solving the mindset that causes this. It's a quick fix. Trainings and workshops are hard work but they actually improve people's self-awareness over time.

I didn't say its all false but I also noticed that you didn't post a single link to the overwhelming and well-documented evidence. Since most of the people I work with are Indian, I guess you're suggesting that Indians are racists against hispanics and blacks. I don't know why that would be but I guess from you said, its well documented.

Ask yourself what "fit" means to a team.

When someone says that someone will or won't "fit with the team" what do they mean ?
