As an Hispanic Engineer I would hate to be hired to fill up a diversity quota... I am better than that.
And as a Software Engineering hiring manager, when hiring I always strive to to be statistically unbiased in the diversity distribution in my team. My base distribution is the population of Software Engineering University graduates.
As long as that base population has 1/10 women and 1/20 "non majority population" (in our case is average Mexican) my team should be expected to follow the same diversity distribution.
The problem with a lot of "diversity" pushes is that they treat use the full country population distribution as a base, which is unreal for ALL labours, Hospitality may be skewed to females, Basketball may be skewed to Blacks, mechanics may be skewed to males, etc. Unless the distribution in the upper part of the funnels do not change, it will be unfair to attempt to force a change in the distribution in the lower stages of the funnel.
