Where DEI is headed: Balkanization in virtually everything

[RDKirk]

According to a story published Monday by The Boston Globe, even though Latinos under age 17 account for 20% of children in Massachusetts, they represent 34% of children in foster care and now face the greatest risk of winding up in foster care than in any other state in the country.
....
Given that the agency that oversees the Massachusetts foster care system is just 16% Latino, it seems obvious that a greater emphasis on diversity, equity and inclusion in hiring and in carrying out the agency’s mission would greatly benefit children stuck in a cycle of neglect, poverty and invisibility.
....
One reason there’s a disproportionately high number of Latino children in Massachusetts’s foster care program, the story notes, is that many people are reporting parents or caregivers for possibly neglecting or abusing their children without having a cultural knowledge of Latinos living in the state.

There is a lot of unrelated information pile-on in the article generally to stimulate an environment of vague racial outrage, however, the first point the article makes is that the state’s Department of Children and Families should be organized by race or ethnic group because, presumably, nobody from another group can understand specific issues of any other group, and that no concept of child welfare can be normalized despite of the ethnic group. By this article even the 4% difference between the percentage of Latino children in the system and the percentage of Latino workers in the system has resulted in unconscionable abuse of the Latino children.
