You don’t have to believe, I read the whole goddamned linked “article”, and parent misrepresented even that. There was a VP that approved promotions, but no particular requirement just for straight white males. That’s just one example of parent’s BS. They got other stuff from the link wrong, too.

Straight white males are the only “non-diverse” demographic. So they aren’t mentioned specifically in diversity quotas, of course. But if you hire too many of them, you can kiss some part of your bonus goodbye on account of not meeting quotas. How this is legal IDK

Because you’re literally pulling that out of your ass. Even the article you link never mentions that and mentions multiple times that there was no such thing.
