[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The cybersecurity firm behind the software update that crashed millions of computers globally has been hit with a complaint over sidelining its white, male employees under a diversity-hiring scheme.A conservative legal action group alleges that CrowdStrike favors women and minorities for jobs and promotions in coding, programming and other areas through diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies.
America First Legal (AFL), the group that complained about CrowdStrike to the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), did not blame DEI for the bug that crashed some 8.5 million computers globally.
But critics of DEI say it's problematic because jobs and promotions are awarded based on sex and skin color — not talent — leaving companies less efficient as their products and services suffer.
Elon Musk has suggested that DEI hiring at CrowdStrike led to the damaging outages, starting a debate on his platform X over whether it could have somehow resulted in the coding error.
