So you're guessing everyone's race/ethnicity and gender identity based on their resume?

  Our application form has a required field for LinkedIn profile, so we use the picture/name. If there is no way to make a guess we just treat it as a normal application and review the resume.

I assume Chinese and Indians are not included in "non-white"?

  I personally do count them as "non-white" when reviewing applications. Our DE&I group only reports "white vs non-white" and "males vs females" ratios, so I assume they are considered "asians" and lumped into "non-white".

    That really makes no sense if the goal is to increase “minority” representation. In my experience at BigTech Indian and Chinese applicants outnumbered white by at least 2:1.

      But it’s not the point. The point is to keep the Twitter mob at bay.
