MGM Resorts' DEI practices were investigated, focusing on Albie Vilarde, Director of Casino Marketing. Vilarde stated he would hire an African American over a white candidate with equal merits, citing "cultural fit." He also said that whites don't fit well with his team, regardless of qualifications.
HR instructs hiring managers to replace departing female employees with female hires based on turnover summaries. Similarly, if an Asian host leaves, they aim to replace them with someone of Asian culture, seeking qualities that resonate with that customer base. Vilarde prefers working with diversity-based companies over standard ones.
When contacted for comment, Vilarde declined to discuss the statements made to an undercover journalist regarding hiring practices based on race and gender.
