No, they suggest one be aware that neutral metrics can none-the-less have an impact which may result in a violation of the law and that therefore other - not made up, just other - metrics be used. I take no position here on this law or the quoted guidance, other than to assert that you have mischaracterized them grossly.

It doesn't make special exceptions for marginalized communities the way EEOC doctrine tries to do. It feels very much like this guidance aspires to violate the spirit of the law while not running afoul of the most generous interpretation.
