It's more complex than that. At least at places I've worked, the discrimination is unacknowledged, but unintentional. It doesn't quite pass the bar for discrimination in hiring. Most black / brown people who grew up in white communities, and second-generation foreigners, do fine for "culture fit."
It also cuts in all directions. There is a lack of culture fit with Chinese-run companies in the US hiring Americans, with African-Americans hiring foreigners, etc.
That obviously favors groups most in power, but there are places where it favors other groups, and who is in power changes over decades. Fixing the problem involves being able to discuss that nuance.
