white people are on the whole under qualified to understand
This is complete false. If these type of positions even try to pretend to be anything other than a token gesture by the marketing department have some kind of training and certification and possibly even a degree behind them that quantifies whatever they are trying to teach. That means exams and reports and presentations. That means reading textbooks and doing research. So someone saying that the color of one’s skin makes them innately better at taking a DEI-related exam and being a better DEI worker is about as racist as you can get.
If someone said that the color of one’s skin would dictate if they could solve a partial differential equation, or the sex organs they have between their legs determined whether they could design a 5 story building, then they’d be called sexists or racist. Claiming that a white person automagically can’t be disadvantaged and/or can’t be as good in a DEI curriculum or work position is incredibly racist.
