They are also being hired for jobs they are not qualified for just based on their looks.

There's a black man at my job who was put on my team and the director loves him because he is black and was given PhD from somewhere for administration. My colleague was tasked with teaching him basic SQL.

He could not learn a basic select statement. Didn't understand it and just plain couldn't understand the structure of a database no matter how many pictures and explanations were given to him. He would then schedule calls with me and make me do his work while he watched.

I told my boss. My boss is a very reasonable guy and doesn't tolerate incompetence so he shoved him off to an incompetent manager. I've only heard him on one call since and it was someone asking him a question he couldn't answer and he was going to set up a call with a teammate to figure it out.

It has to be stressful to be complete incapable of doing the job you were hired for. I'd be insulted by being hired just based on my looks for a job that takes brains. I'm sure at least some of them feel it without even knowing what it is.

In DIE struggle sessions that they are participating in, they bring their self-hate racial issues into the workplace. Prior to DIE you could do your job and ignore the races and focus on business only, but DIE takes time out of the day to point out the pocs and the participation element (provided by The Mars Hill Group) in the struggle sessions gets the pocs to try to fit their life experiences to match into the DIE examples of what is 'wrong' so the pocs can feel like victims.

Example: A fictional situation where a white guy does something like assign clients to employees. The poc isn't bothered by it. DIE training has you delve in and suggests the poc was bothered but said nothing. DIE says the white guy was ignorant and didn't know that what he said or did COULD have been offensive to a poc in the choice of client assigned to employee. DIE discussions delve into the ages of the boss and the poc, the experience levels and we seem to land on white guy being old and out of touch with DIE, and poc either needing extra care to see if poc feels boss was fair or needs "allies" to speak up for the poc and point out what might be racism. Yeah. You spend an hour on shit like this.
