No.

Every profession should reasonably represent a fair cross section of qualified applicants. If there's real discrimination it would show up there.

Also reasonable (IMO only) to help improve education and outreach for the youth of under-represented demographics. I'm willing to pay for that too. Teach a man to fish and all that.

But once you're an adult you need to compete on your merits, otherwise you institutionalize hypocrisy, perpetuate racial/cultural divides, and perpetuate a culture of people who do not stand on their own two feet. Look to the federal civil service if you have any questions about that last.
