Calling a company with a head of diversity bloated for instance is telling of your politics.

So is it offensive to subscribe to MLK's general idea of judging people not on the color of their skin, but on the content of their character?

Actually, tilting the scales in favor of previously-discriminated-against groups (including, but not limited to, "colored people") until such time as the resulting disadvantage from that discrimination was remedied is exactly and concretely what King advocated, for example, when calling, in Why We Can't Wait, for a "Bill of Rights for the Disadvantaged" parallel to the "GI Bill" (then known as the "GI Bill of Rights") for veterans.
The right wing has taken to presenting, on the basis of a single line in the "I have a dream" speech, an utter fabrication about King's philosophy that conflicts with what King himself wrote and said on the specific issues for which they deployy the fabrication as an argument.
If your mode of argument depends on putting words in other people's mouths, you're not a very effective debater.
Not sure if I understand your issue with my response which tried to get at the root of his statement.
Calling a company with a head of diversity-- and that loses tons of money-- bloated, is sensible business acumen. Unless you blame earnings woes on diversity issues.
