Yes, companies went out of their way to hire people of color... to rectify historical discrepancies.

Also worth noting the original headline for your linked piece about Best Buy is "Best Buy, McKinsey partner to develop diverse leaders" (ah, the progressive radicals bringing down our country... McKinsey!) and your linked piece about the London transport team comes from some sensationalist outlet I've never heard of, whose founder appears to be writing articles about how "Jill Biden's White House Christmas decorations are predictably ghastly." Not sure I trust that as an unbiased source.

Glad we could move on from "it's not happening" to "it's happening and it's a good thing" expediently.

> Not sure I trust that as an unbiased source.

The article you distrust links (at the start of the 2nd paragraph) to the official government website advertising that internship, which states, verbatim: "You must be of Black, Asian and minority ethnic background, defined as having some African, Afro-Caribbean, Asian or other non-white heritage"
