Especially super weird is the hiring practises of (non-US) businesses OUTSIDE the US who've blindly copied this US DEI stuff without thinking if it even applies.

Several major Australian universities (and some gov departments) practically don't hire white males any more. As several friends already working at these places have complained about in private.

Sometimes forwarding the "new and updated policy" mass emails from HR about it, just to show how insane things have become.
