My previous workplaces straight up reserved headcount for "diverse" candidates. In other words, we prohibited white and Asian men from a segment of our available headcount. There is no singular type of diversity initiative. Perhaps there are some that implement blind hiring to eliminate bias, or other methods of increasing diversity by eliminating bias. But I've never encountered one, in my experience there all just good old fashioned discriminatory hiring practices once you get past the effusive language.
