Isn't it explicitly illegal to hire in this manner? Also in terms of diversity, I feel like SF is really only chasing visible, skin deep diversity. What they actually need is ideological diversity. Over- and under-representation should be looked on more dimensions (https://heterodoxacademy.org/ideological-underrepresentation-compared-to-race-gender-sexuality/ https://heterodoxacademy.org/ideological-underrepresentation...) than just the ones that are politically convenient or have the most coverage in news/social media.
And leaving that aside, chasing equality of opportunity is fair and just, but chasing equality of outcomes (AKA equity) is unjust and discriminatory. Progressives need to abandon that train of thought because it corrupts institutions in the very manner we are seeing in this story. Unfortunately I am also seeing a trend of big companies, particularly tech companies, adopting "equity" into their language. The move from Diversity programs making work accessible and comfortable for everyone to trying to create equal outcomes based on arbitrary group distinctions is moving them away from meritocracy and towards a victimocracy (https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Victimocracy https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Victimocracy).
