But I want to bias towards attracting talent?

  Society has interests that conflict with your personal desires. If you believe men are better coders than women, society already prevents you from acting on your ideas. I don't see how this is significantly different, especially given how much "protected" classes clearly affect your odds of getting in to prestigious institutions.

    It’s quite the opposite, being in “historically oppressed” segments of protected classes directly and openly helps your odds of getting in to prestigious institutions.

      So you agree that looking for prestigious institutes on a resume is unfair and disadvantages a number of groups? I never said which way the privilege swung, merely that it's clear that "attending a prestigious institute" has never been the meritocracy it claims to be.
