Respectfully, this is at best a short sighted take. Aside from the obvious faux pas of “forced equality” (this is equity, meaning equal outcomes which is truly a sickening concept) racial discrimination has been explicitly illegal in hiring practice for decades, and is a poor explanation for industry demographics. Are oil companies discriminating against women since you don’t see them in the fields?
