The diversity pushes since last year of focused on historically underrepresented minorities in technical fields. Specifically these would be (in the USA) black and hispanic employees. Paying these employees less generally would be a very short-sided move, because if it could be shown that they did so systematically they'd be open to class-action lawsuits and lots of bad publicity.
