> In fact IBM was sued and paid a settlement of over $17 million for tying compensation to diversity metrics:

That's one way of putting it.

Another way is IBM bribed Trump's personal lawyer 17 million in furtherance of Trump's hobby horse, bigotry, in exchange for a billion dollars[1].

Bigotry does not mean an automatic win at court. I continue to be impressed at the mental gymnastics you're willing to jump through to rationalize the belief that tying compensation to racial and gender quotas is legal. It doesn't matter that companies are being sued and paying out settlements for their illegal DEI practices, it's all just a conspiracy!
