There is barely any data in the article, none stating the number of white CEOs, and none stating the evolution of said number over years.
I wouldn't feel very realised if I was hired because of my skin colour.
Who's to say you aren't?
I understand achieving gender or race parity implies including those factors in the selection process therefore rejecting/accepting people based on that. Disclaimer: English is not my first language so I maybe misunderstood.
The current system produces many more white CEOs than you'd expect from the percentage of the population they make up.
Therefore the system is set up in such a way that some of them are being promoted because of their race.

Non sequitur. The only possible reason can be discrimination. No other possible reasons should be considered.
The same exact (lack of) self-assessment that is enjoyed by the white exec also applies to the minority hire, does it not? That is to say, anyone, regardless of race, gender or protected status, can feel free, in the absence of further knowledge, to assume that they achieved their position by merit. It's a non sequitur to presume anyone is a diversity hire.

So? Does race matter or does it not?
