I think this misses the point. A resource like GitHub shouldn't just be used by the underpriviliged to score a better paying job. It should be used by underpriviliged groups to gain access to the tools and knowledge that rich groups take for granted. Then the underpriviliged can build their own system without simply buying into the existing systems.
This is the same argument we make against closed access research papers. The goal isn't to make it easier to hire poor people. The goal is to give poor people knowledge and resources so they can build themselves up.
