Is that actually a thing you have confirmed happening anywhere though? I can see a qualification tie going to diversity (because diversity has been proven to spark creative solutions, etc.), but the myth that "whites" are just being passed over for anyone "non-whites" sounds like racist propaganda. And repeating it as a "question" is playing, either intentionally or not, into that propaganda.
