It’s weird to have this conversation without at least acknowledging that the reason employers started actively trying to hire people other than white men is bc left to their own devices, organizations were hiring exclusively white men. And it wasn’t bc they were more qualified.

Everyone understood that this was going on, in private business as well as universities. Acquaintances would just outright say "We're looking to hire a woman of color/queer person/etc for this position". I never figured out how to politely ask why they were confessing a crime to someone they barely knew.
