That's an excellent question. My knee jerk is the tie breaker should go to the minority. However what if the minority is one of LeBron James kids and the white guy is someone like JD Vance?
Who grew up with more privilege? The answer to that in my hypothetical is obvious.
Honestly I don't know the answer to your question because it's not as binary as it seems.

This is how uneducated Republicans are.
They think DEI is really ALL about hiring. And in hiring its ALL about race. That's it.
Hiring is a tiny tiny fraction.
DEI focuses on HOW you treat your employees AFTER they are hired. And it's about diversity on all levels: race, age, sex, gender identity, gender expression, (dis) ability, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, ethnicity, national origin, immigration status, citizenship, socioeconomic status, housing status, marital status, language, and political perspective.
So in your hypothetical, Jeff, you'd include the background of Vance too, specifically his socioeconomic upbringing. (Of course you'd also look negatively on his personal views of basically hating anyone not white, Christian, and Republican)
