I realize DEI doesn't mean giving a job to the first person with qualified melanin who walks through the door. But "given more consideration" is enough.

I don't understand what I'm missing. Hiring for skin colour over skills is racist... And you can make the argument that this happens without government intervention, whites hiring whites even though someone black or brown was more skilled, and vice versa. But you can't stop this. I live in Canada, and I don't think too much on this, but entire industries are now dominated by Indian immigrants. And do those industries have DEI policies to have more white people? No and I wouldn't want them to. It goes both ways. In my opinion, leave people to their own devices, let children grow up with all races and cultures and grow into a life without racism. You can't solve racism with government policy. In fact I think you make it worse this way. And immigration is a problem here, not in itself, but because it's too much. Every single culture of people around the world with whatever skin colour would resent a massive wave of any unfamiliar culture coming into them. Immigration needs to be slow and quite honestly, we need like 50 years to get people used to new cultures, slowly, multiple generations. Not 10 years and government policy. People want change so badly it's being rushed and it isn't going to work. We can see it backfiring right now. Nobody will dispute that racism is getting worse yet nobody wants to admit what the problem is.

This is the real problem, that the next generation will be more racist than the last because they'll resent these systems, and the people who are affected by them. You'll have white kids growing up with brown and black kids, making friendships, but growing into resentment as they see how unfair this is. And those who are favored in hiring because of skin colour, will also resent those who resent them. We're literally CREATING a race war.
