There's a thing called sales puffery and it isn't required to be 100% honest. Saying you plan to preference based on race/gender for PR points isn't illegal. Actually discriminating against a protected class as you allege could get the company, and the employees involved, in a lot of trouble. I'm sure they didn't bypass any white males to arrive at an 80% woman/minority number. They simply picked the most qualified and that's what was there.
