Assessing merit is something we still suck at.

Implicit bias nearly always plays a part.

op specifically said about hiring unqualified/less qualified people and "let them grow into jobs", which assumes rejecting more qualified candidate (who doesnt need to grow into a job but has has wrong skin color ) so Op denies merit explicitly and prefers racial nepotism.

No wonder DIE initiatives face pushback as they do not make any sense and are plain harmful to all parties involved
