These seem like edge cases. How many CRUD web apps have gaping holes that would be corrected had the developers only been less white? And are the consequences of failed facial recognition so severe? The racial issue was fixed years before I got a camera that could leverage it, and how many people critically depended on it in that window? In fact, I can't think of a single other issue of tech that works better for white people, much less one that is actually important. And even if you were concerned about this, it's not justification to hire in proportion to broader demographics. None of this is to attack diversity, just these particularly weak arguments. We should absolutely maximize opportunity for everyone, because it's the right thing to do; not because it might help to avoid the once-in-a-blue-moon racial faux pas.
