Rarely did bring a title such a broad smile to my face. And it turned in roaring laughter when going through the page.

Absolute brilliant :)

I'm sure it will satisfy both sides:

One who see's corporations only disingenuously adopting formal policies to hire minorities, only doing it in marketing and for public appearance to appease other white people, rather than offering minorities meaningfully positions of power.

And the other who see these policies as ineffective and bowing down to special interests groups without providing any meaningful benefit to the minority group while simultaneously harming the parent company by hiring people based on their appearance rather than intrinsic value they provide the company.

Attempting to eliminate biases by force or social pressure is always going to be fraught with risk and aversion.
