What nobody tells you about this program . Kansas City's minority hiring requirements actually benefit mostly white corporations just as much as a small handful of minorities who garner cash from the scheme if only because better numbers create an illusion of "diversity" without having to achieve any real representation. Translation: People who REALLY understand how MWBE works in Kansas City know that EVERYONE takes advantage of this program. "Kansas City's minority and women-owned program helped Structure Incorporated secure work at KCI, but it was a long road to get there."
