This is pretty tough. What you’re doing is probably illegal, at least now that you’ve realized it, and particularly as you’ve qualified it based on your own opinion of white privilege.
I’m going to go ahead and say the unpopular thing: the best way to make the world a better place is to fake it until you make it. Be kind and treat applicants fairly and equally. Hiring people you don’t need or hiring below your standard will only drag your team down over time.
We need to change the way we post jobs and market opportunities to women and minorities. Constant internet message boarding is mostly a white dude thing. If you want different candidates, you have to go to them.
But please don’t think a personal, sneaky morality crusade is the best way to improve your team.
My two cents.
