Right, he could just end by stating that corporations employ useless people who then do useless things to justify their employment like they always did, like every large organisation ever. But then he had to go all modern identity politics on it. It fries brains of its opponets just as much if not more than its supporters.
48.3% whites are a minority and they are underrepresented compared to the 59.3% in the U.S. population.
That is just for background. GP tried to make the case that developers engaging in diversity initiatives, who are often white, do this for their career. In other words, they are unproductive B players, who will hire C players in order to keep their jobs. They also discourage A players from engaging in work.
You could plausibly be referring to Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows Vista or Windows ME. Making this strange line of argument just seem idiosyncratic and more about your own feelings on "inclusivity" than objective analysis of software quality.
People being given preferential hiring because of their race or sex is inherently racist and sexist. He's perfectly justified to be upset over widespread racism in the tech industry, especially when it is also leading to noticable drops in software development quality. The real question is why do you seem to support explicit racism and sexism?

Look at when the steep decline in software quality began, and see what that happens to coincide with.
