The most imbalanced group in hiring were Asians, representing around 5% of the population but around 40% of the chart in that article. From my anecdotal experience with DEI programs, they generally don't target or encourage hiring Asians over black/Hispanic people. If we are purely talking about discrimination against white people, it's much more likely that an Indian or Chinese person is replacing a white person, not a "DEI hire" black person.

no it’s because the study is measuring net changes and most retiring professional degree workers are white

but Whites with a professional degree are much more likely to already be employed, or be able to retire (creating opening for new hires)
