Don't be so quick to assume racism. You don't see people blaming Microsoft's cock-ups on Indians who are not DEI hires but would be a valid target for racists. I think blaming DEI hires for problems is mostly people who don't like the idea of hiring based on race/gender/etc. and who also realize that if you do that hard enough, you're bound to get inferior people because you're limiting your hiring pool. Of course companies that pay low salaries are also limiting their hiring pool and also bound to get inferior people. There are plenty of complaints about that too - if a famously low-paying big consultancy company (IBM?) has a cock-up, it's often blamed on their low pay.
