My thought hadn’t fully materialized to make much sense.

Here’s another stab at it: What I mean is, entry level jobs are fine. But even in the world of engineering, artificially making choices based on ethnicity or gender for the top tier job can have very real consequences. I’m all for giving minorities more opportunities but I think putting them in charge or in the main role solely because of their gender, sexuality, or ethnicity can be a recipe for disaster.

Minorities should obviously be considered with the same weight as white men but IMO that choice (especially at the top) should be made based on SKILL and qualifications. IMO, it’s fine to artificially inflate roles that aren’t the department head but department heads need to be decided on an OBJECTIVE BASIS.
