> want a scenario where the diversity programming produced a result that they would consider more insulting to minorities

They're trolls. They don't care about minorities. They just use diversity to wind people up because then they can press the 'white fragility' button when people complain and segue into another level of trolling. If minorities get offended they'll attack them with 'uncle tom' and 'oreo' type insults.

You are not dealing with people operating in good faith, it's obvious. Expecting their actions to make sense is pointless. They just love drama. Performance artists. Theater kids. Somehow they've got in there and have formed a little nucleus of toxicity which is why the company's headed downhill so fast.

Someone alludes to it here:

And I've seen this happen. You hire one, they get some leverage to hire their buddies, before you know it they've set up their own little clown show and nobody wants to go anywhere near them. Then the wrecking starts.
