I haven't seen a black american hired in tech in a decade. The last black american I saw in tech, they hired an indian manager, and the black guy was the first guy he fired.
Since then the only black guy I saw hired turned out to be from a suburb in africa.
My experience is the beneficiaries are people with well off parents from other countries.
Or white women.
I'd say there's a lot more "RNG" in the chances than an Xcom combat roll. It might, occasionally, give non-incompetents a leg up, but the way it's been applied in the last 20 years has been nothing but overboard and wasteful.
Another thing to consider too is how it tries to sidestep and ignore the bigger issues that keep getting shoved under the rug or made worse through partisan (usually left leaning) games, namely, the state of public education in the US for the last 30+ years.
And I'm not just talking about the woketastic nonsense, but the absurdly bad strategies that have been put into effect to try to improve things, that only manage to make things even worse. IE, "No Child Left Behind", the endless cash flow to universities and colleges that seem to focus on everything except providing a useful and usable education, etc.
