Ask HN: How has Diversity and Inclusion programs impacted your company?

At my current employer, the D&I program has resulted in the hiring of a lot more white women and barely any underrepresented minorities (URMs)[0]. I have experienced myself and heard from colleagues that referrals of URM candidates were rejected in favor of less qualified white women. It seems white women are the main benefactors of D&I programs just as they were for affirmative action[1]. How has D&I programs impacted your company?
