There’s a relatively new manager who is a certain race (non-white) and everyone on their team that was hired by them (less than 1yr) is “coincidentally” the same race. Is this happening at your workplace? Is it accepted by HR & management?

HR and management are supposed to embrace diversity, if the race is non white it’s probably severely underrepresented. What’s the issue?

I’m all for diversity. Someone who only gives opportunities to people of their race brings to question whether it is diversity or discrimination.
