They sure as hell don't help men of color. <br /><br />They extend the first and best opportunities to white men, to prove that they're not showing favoritism to other white women. Then those white men either hire or give a leg up to more white men, or white women. <br /><br />It creates a closed circle of white people hiring and supporting other white people while celebrating their diversity success, and limiting ethnic diversity outreach to sporadic (but or course highly photographed and documented) inner city high school mentoring programs, scholarships for black and brown teenagers, and hiring the occasional POC teen intern (but not nearly as often as white must-hire interns, of course).OpenAirCDnoreply@blogger.com
