Couldn't the market take care of racism? Nowadays if a company is dumb enough to make blatantly racist things, the social media makes sure that people know this, and not racist people will think twice when dealing with that particular company. However, if racism is hidden behind internal processes, e.g. they don't openly reject minorities, just set the bar higher for them when hiring, it can be really hard to unveil the misconduct.

It's really an underhand way of saying "If I want to have a racist employment policy that's none of your business". Expecting the market to solve these problems is naive, it just won't happen except in a few high profile cases.
