If that's the case, then say it. We don't believe in diverse work environments. We don't care if every employee is a white male. They asked for diversity, this is how you get it.
Not trying to be sarcastic, but your argument assumes a meritocracy.
Companies hire the best college graduates. Colleges take the best high schoolers. The best high schools are in rich, mostly white areas. Who's to blame?
Most CEO's, founders, and senators are white men. Either it's not a meritocracy or white supremacy is real.
I believe it's not a meritocracy. More opportunity for minorities is one step in fixing this.
