That certainly may have had pretty specific circumstances. Per this article, the company's 5-year plan included a diversity goal, and the company subsequently fired and rehired more people in an identical fashion, showing an obvious pattern. He also could prove damages, since he was apparently days away from earning a higher severance package for an employment anniversary.
Why not try it if you're a white guy? Rigged courts that'll laugh it out of existence if your case isn't rock-solid that you could have landed a position at the company. Even then you have to find a lawyer that's willing to take on your case, and not many are going to want to pick up a case against an opponent with as deep pockets as ActiBlizz unless the party suing them has equal depth of funds. Plus there's the added kicker of being the lawyer that defended "the white guy" in an EOE case. No lawyer wants those optics on them in this day and age.
Long and short of it is that it'd be an uphill battle for a white guy, as opposed to the slam-dunk case if it was a black/latino/other non-Caucasian.

The government is the reason why, companies, at least in California, get in trouble if they don't diversity hire. Like I had a job where the boss, a conservative white guy, threw out all white resumes because the last 2 guys he hired were white, so he needed to add a diversity hire next.
We hired Indians, Arabs, and Hispanics, almost no black hires.
I did like the one black guy in my work group (maybe the only one in the entire office of like 100), he was funny and honest. Our rival department swore my old boss only hired him to win the annual department basketball game, especially after he single handedly crushed them in the game.
Corporations prioritizing divershitty-hires over whites wouldn't be possible if all blacks were evicted, just saying.
Enterprise and some other infrastructural B2B affiliates are already ahead of you on that one. They utilize what's called the "India Power Play", where they prop up start-ups with a bunch of H-1B1 starter engineers to boost the appeal of a company's portfolio with fluffed resumes and cheap workers, and then sell the company off to a larger conglomerates (such as telecoms) that takes it in as a subsidiary, even though it's a vacuous, ill-equipped, poorly ran shell.
In result, some reshuffling takes place at the larger conglomerate that involves a division of white collar straight-white males getting the axe due to "downsizing" and then the "India Power Play" start-up is used for remote networking or for outsourced work, and so when you call generic mega-telecoms company you get Hadid or Fahir who not only don't know what they're talking about, but you can barely understand a word they're saying. In result, you end up wasting two-hours not getting whatever minuscule problem you had solved and the company got to put more straight-white males out of work while utilizing cheaply employed foreigners.
If you're a white guy who's applied to blizzard and been denied, you can quote this in your lawsuit.
Honestly don’t get why white people dont do that. It’s an open and shut case
Because the institutions are hostile to it, basically. It takes special circumstances to win, although it'd be nice if more were trying
More should try. This is beyond ridiculous
Unfortunately if you do this you are likely significantly damaging your future job prospects. HR bigots will never hire you if you threaten their cult
That certainly may have had pretty specific circumstances.

You're assuming the rule of law is still in effect. An easy mistake to make.

You are right but it shouldn’t be that way. Makes me mad.

I hope that actually happens./
