This is a really helpful framing of the same problem that hopefully everyone can relate to. You can be great at your job but still have fewer opportunities because of how you're perceived by the majority group.
Getting the hiring biases out of the way early makes sense to me. The downside is that this doesn't change the broader situation or challenge it in anyway. It just says: "go ahead and apply your biases if you have them". It think, in some ways, this practice could make things a lot worse overall. It allows companies to massage their diversity metrics in ways that are acceptable and not at all challenging to the notion of what "acceptable diversity" looks like.
