NFL requiring every team to hire a minority or female offensive coach
 

The NFL will require every team to hire a minority or female offensive assistant coach for the 2022 season.

As part of its diversity effort, NFL owners adopted a policy that allows for the coach to be “a female or a member of an ethnic or racial minority.” The coach will sign a one-year deal and be paid from a league-wide fund.

This is the leagues plan to seed diversity into the HC position.

How does the Asian community feel about that? And the Hispanics?

Won't work.

Not that I think it will work, but Asians and Hispanics would be part of the program as both fall under the stated definition “a female or a member of an ethnic or racial minority.”

You're right. It won't. It's carefully crafted framing meant to appease, exhibit A.

If you delve into the genome project, we're all descendants of the african DNA ancestry, all of us. In other words, we're all 100% mutts. I am French and there is no French DNA ancestry, more Germanic and nordic.

What we're really talking about is regulating behaviors. Sadly, people suck at being upstanding people, not just in hiring practices. If you're considered too old, they will discriminate against you as well.

Bingo.

I am not saying that it will but to specify the side of the ball the personnel have to be hired at and the league paying the salary is more than just 'diversify your numbers'. 1/3 of the NFL's HC call their own offensive plays.

Also, if diversity is going to be required in coaches why not players as well? The numbers game is a very convoluted lesson in unintended consequences.
