And the general workforce breakdown at CBC/Radio-Canada in 2020 was:
Visible Minorities - 14.6%
Indigenous Peoples - 2.2%
Persons with Disabilities - 3.3%
Women - 48.5%
LGBTQ2+ - 7.8%
Does this strike you as significantly different? In fact 2023 might have even higher numbers than this, especially year-over-year.
Also, do you understand what having a DEI policy means?
Rather than hiring people based on quotas or percentages for diversity and inclusion, it means the applicant pool for new jobs is opened up further to be more accessible to those who previously may not be considered. It doesn't mean firing others to meet those quotas.
In other words, it doesn't mean hiring more "minorities", it means having more competition in job applications.
Do you happen to know the length/tenure of those Caucasian people at the top? My guess is they've been there for a considerable amount of time as they worked their way up the ladder, and possibly before and during DEI was implemented.
