Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
I think your initial reaction shows that your falling into the same logic trap that people like Elon are, just not as extreme.
DEI initiatives don't mean, "hire the black guy so we look good". They mean that where there are 2 candidates with equal qualifications, make an effort to hire the DEI candidate. Some organizations have implemented things like reviewing resumes with the names removed so that there's no unconscious bias against folks with obvious non-white names. They also set targets to have X% of staff at various levels be female/non-white, etc. There's no penalty for missing these numbers though, it's a target that gets reviewed annually by executive management and that's it.
If you're not making progress against the goal they're going to ask why. If the answer is, "well sir/ma'am, I'm a racist" then of course you're getting fired. If the answer is, "were not an attractive company to this class of people, then good organizations will try to figure out why and take steps to change that.
And that's really what hiring DEI candidates is all about. It's not "punish white people for the sins of their ancestors", "hire minorities regardless of how unqualified they are", "put some chick on the board so we look good", or anything like that.
No, their initial reaction shows they’re a racist piece of shit that gets rope.
When will we stop coddling these fuckers and start giving them what they deserve.
Yeah, but how do I make myself the victim in that situation?
Projection, my good man!
