Because you're extrapolating a ton from a somewhat ambiguous statement. All they are saying is that they are trying to make sure their decisions don't disproportionately negatively effect marginalized communities. This doesn't mean racist towards whites or that they will exclusively fire white people. My read (as a white guy who is minority in religion) was: "great, this company has some defenses to make sure they are being fair to everyone, especially groups of people who don't typically get a fair shake". And that's fine by me. Not that they are firing white people. But that they are making sure they're not disproportionately firing black people or women or any other group that might be marginalized in the tech industry.
