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.

Government of Canada:

The membership of the Board should include representation of the geographical regions of Canada and maintain a balance of gender, cultural and linguistic representation to ensure that the Board represents the diversity of Canada’s population and its regions.

Racialized population in Canada is around 27% and the CBC board is 18%. Also, the prairie provinces represent about 17% of the population of Canada and make up 9% of the board.
I think the CBC is falling short of their idealized board makeup as posted by the government.
