So... I'm a white dude, and I 100% think I could get a job at Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc and that none of these policies would hold me back. Why are you so afraid of these policies? If you're good you'll still get the job. I'm not anti-white. I'm white myself? I just recognize that being white has done me well in this country in tons of ways. There's plenty of state level (and some federal) laws holding back people from successful employment opportunities. Lots of people get great training and experience in the armed services for example! Oh, I'm sorry, you're transgendered and come from a small town where often the armed services is one of the few paths out? Well, no experience for you there! No GI bill training either. The historical effects of redlining for real estate is still affecting current generations of people as well, making financial situations harder for families which provides less opportunity. Married couples often have greater economic stability. I couldn't get married to another guy in most states until recently. The day same-sex marriage happened didn't automatically undo the years where that wasn't possible or recognized. Maternity leave in the US is atrocious compared to other countries. These companies are hiring huge amounts of people overall, and I'm really not worried about them preferring to hire underrepresented people when they have the opportunity. I'd still get the job. Why are you worried about it?
