Is that an indirect way of saying, prioritizing minorities?

The only group that I know of that has made hiring discrimination claims against CB, has been Stephen Millers group (go figure). Is there any evidence that the company policy is, or was, to "hire anyone as long as they're not white"? It is still illegal, right?

"Under Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies in the U.S., it is legal to pursue diversity goals but illegal to prioritize or make hiring decisions solely based on protected characteristics such as race, sex, or national origin. Federal civil rights laws, especially Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, prohibit employment discrimination that favors or excludes candidates based on these traits, even under DEI initiatives."

BTW, I'm not a big fan of DEI, but admittedly, my bias against DEI is based on a limited knowledge of how (or how much) it affects hiring and promotion practices inside these companies. I also don't know how many people are affected by DEI policy, positive, or negative. This company (CB) has had DEI policy for at least two years now. Why has it just now a become a problem? 

edit: sorry, their DEI policy shift started under the last CEO in 2021. So 4 years.

"Cracker Barrel launched its Diversity and Inclusion Strategy in June 2021."
I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

I went to Cracker Barrel last night. They had their Christmas displays up along with their Halloween displays.
