I honestly can't understand most of the discussion. For me, the crucial point is only one:
What is the objective?
What are you aiming for? Google, governments, NGOs, eccetera have their own objectives.
What's Google purpose? Make money, lots of it, as simple as that.
Well, what do you have to do then? Really simple: optimise for profit! In regard to hiring, A/B test the mix of people that work best. Is a group of only minorities the best one? Hooray, hire only minorities and, when you can legally fire the "white males" just trash them as soon as possible. Have you found that there's a secret mixture of "white males", "black males", "white females", "esquimeses" that perform superbly? Well, keep on hiring them!
Are you the US government and need to optimise for general wealth? Perfect, then you should hire that woman, who needs to support her 4 children, and forget about that 19 year old Stanford PhD, he will make tons of money somewhere else.
Are you Google and need the general consensus of a particular group of people? Well, then just behave accordingly.
I laugh when I see "biological differences", not because it is untrue, but because it misses the real point.
What is the objective?
