So many anecdotes. I think there's a nugget of truth, but I don't think it's usually anyone in the hiring process who says it.
I think you apply to someplace where your friend works. You don't get hired. Your friend either lies to protect your feelings or sees a minority in the role and assumes it

Even just a survey:
"Have you ever informed a person they were not hired because of racial quotas to let them down easy?"
"Have you ever informed a person they were not hired because of racial quotas despite not knowing if it was true?'
I bet you get a lot of yesses from the managerial class.

I've met multiple people who've related these anecdotes. I think the most common situation is that someone non management at a company encourages a friend to apply. A minority is hired so they assume it was DEI and relay that as factual to their friend.

It's fair. She could donate a billion dollars to good causes tomorrow and still have 600 million left to live a life of absolute luxury and leave a massive inheritance to her kids. Nobody should be a billionaire. The government should tax them out of existence. I still like her and her music

Lots of records broken for flooding in the Puget sound region. Fun fact. For every 1 degree C of global warming the atmosphere can hold 7% more water vapor. We're basically at 1.5C now.
