Contrived diversity inevitably means lower standards. This applies not only to competence but to moral standards, enhancing the appeal of DEI for leftists and putting people like this in trusted positions:

Barbara Furlow-Smiles, 38, served as Lead Strategist, Global Head of Employee Resource Groups and Diversity Engagement at Facebook from about January 2017 to September 2021.

As you can guess from the hyphenated name, Barbara herself was a diversity hire.

During that time, lawyers from the US Attorney’s Office in the Northern District of Georgia said she cheated and defraud the company out of over $4 million.

She charged Facebook fraudulent invoices, then received kickbacks and used the money to live a luxury lifestyle in California and Georgia.

US Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan denounces her for “undermining the importance of her DEI mission.” Actually, Ms. Furlow-Smiles deserves credit for drawing attention to the perniciousness of her mission.
