Strictly speaking, DEI absolutely does NOT cover all “minority” hires. DEI is when we say, “We need more people of group X regardless of all other factors.” I really doubt they married their wives for the sake of diversity. So they’re nit DEI.
Now it depends whether you mean actual DEI or the nonsense that companies do in the name of DEI or the unfortunate overreaction that some people support related to DEI due to the resistance to actual, reasonable, sensible DEI.
“… regardless of all other factors…” sounds like the second of these.
I understand that many people have an incorrect understanding of DEI (and at times have had experience with it being incorrectly applied). I was actually hoping to learn where this particular person learned their viewpoint to have a conversation.

Yea that’s not what DEI is. Look up affinity bias and why we need things like DEI.

Genuine curiosity here- where did you get your definition of DEI?
Honestly it’s easy to get that definition of DEI when it is poorly explained and/or poorly understood.
Plenty of people particularly on the right believe all the explanatory reasoning behind DEI is thinly-veiled “reverse racism”.
