Push for diversity and all that. What could go wrong with unelected global companies try to social engineer the world. Plus they expect that they are represented by the best of those companies, even the article says that black lawyers are not given high-profile work, so it is all for show. Got to love this logic, epic pay, low work and low responsibilities do to the color of your skin but somehow they say whites are privileged.
These people exist in every big corporation (I work for one). There have been guys around forever that are totally incompetent and it's just accepted and they have all been black. One was such a joke that it was almost an open thing that if you needed something from this person the best way to get it done was to just figure out who he'd get to do the work for him and ask them directly. I couldn't imagine being a competent black guy and seeing this be allowed to happen. Why would you even try?
Same, I worked for several corporations and I see it everywhere.
What made me sick was the low standards they had for new hires, I was designated as part of the skill testing phase and I've seen young white men cast aside despite being qualified while others being hired despite being incompetent. I eventually asked to no longer take part in that process but not before it caused me a lot of anxiety and depression.
