Believing that diversity requires "lowing the bar" means believing "diverse" candidates are inferior.

Again, I failed to find this claim. The one instance I found of this phrase arises explicitly within a claim about a specific hiring practice being discriminatory:

>Hiring practices which can effectively lower the bar for “diversity” candidates by decreasing the false negative rate

Is this what you're referring to?

No, it just means that ones that meet the current requirements are not available in sufficient quantity.
