The local college here in town just had a job fair so, yes.

My point was to give a couple of examples of how the applicant queue is not completely out of a company's control. Surely you can think of other ones.

> The thing is that humans are innately tribal.

The thing about humans is we get to decide what our tribe is, and tribe membership both changes and is multi-component.

We can decide to change our religion, which changes our "tribe", while also supporting the local football team (another "tribe") and be in the alumni club of a college (a third "tribe") while also celebrating Independence Day (a fourth "tribe") at a work (tribe #5) event.

Making your point rather meaningless, since we can change ourselves.

> what is exactly the end goal of DEI programs?

I don't care to have this discussion. I'm a programmer. I came to point out that your objection to DEI was invalid, at a level that even a programmer could point out.
