Big tech companies who have huge D&I directives will just hire any BIPOC/minority they can to fill their quotas, culture fit or not (most Bay Area cultures are far-leftist, so they'll assume BIPOCs are on their side). They don't call them quotas, but they have "quarterly and yearly targets" to get to 30% BIPOCs, etc.

Executive compensation is tied to how many BIPOCs they can shuffle in the door. Imagine being the diversity hire so a corporate multi-millionaire could keep his year-end bonus.
