I've observed this too.  I was told by a manager at a placed I worked that
despite him knowing who the best candidate was, they leaned on him to hire
based on 'diversity'.  These practises are the clearest examples of literal
racism and sexism you can find.  Having bad things to say about a particular
race or gender may be crude, impolite, mean, but these companies are quite
literally ranking people on race and making decisions that affect peoples lives
on these attributes.  A "racist ranter" on a train has less impact.
