I could just as easily state that "people who push for diversity" have a tendency to define "merit" in a way that is wildly biased. What is biased or unbiased specifically in terms of hiring software engineers on their merit?

For example a lot of tech companies only hire entry level people from elite colleges. That leads to a workforce that is largely white and largely middle to upper class. Sure, the average MIT grad is better than the average boot camp grad, but there are also plenty of boot camp grads that are better than plenty of MIT grads.
