Not taking a position here, but the govt data (https://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsaat11.htm https://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsaat11.htm) clearly shows a 5:1 over-representation of Asians (and under-representation of Whites, but that's for another flame war) in software development, so you could steel-man that it would be hard to achieve equality of outcome for all the US-govt-defined races without doing something about that one major outlier.
Whether that's something we should strive for as a society I'll leave to people much wiser and uncancelable than me.
