I don't know. The 6 finalists that we know about were all white males but we can only speculate who she interviewed to get down to those 6 finalists.

While it's always a reasonable guess that a white male's identity played a role in their hiring process, we don't seem to have any evidence to support it.

Calling someone a "DEI hire" doesn't just mean that they're a different race than other people in an organization. It's used to imply that the person is otherwise unqualified for the job and was specifically hired to fill a diversity requirement.

I don't think that's an accurate description of Walz and I'd do some pretty serious eye rolling if MAGA starts trying to portray him as such.

maybe?, but then again im pretty sure like 70% of the US national population is white, so. At the very least it's above 50% making it a majority. In my state it's 80% white.

Statistically, you would expect to get a white dude. It's what's most representative.

Then there's the whole institutional race/ethnic bias problem as well. That's likely relevant here.
