The incentives here are so twisted. This is purely based on an output metric so they can say "We increased our hiring of diverse candidates by X%". Meanwhile, minorities suffer a lot of issues that aren't taken seriously (racism, sexism, homophobia, etc) and they end up quitting - and often signing an NDA with a settlement to keep them from speaking out...rinse and repeat, now we get more new hires that we can brag about.
As the other comments state this is unsurprising as people are really suffering a lack of identity under peak capitalism and neoliberalism is fueling this with this crappy virtue signalling stuff while continuing to make things objectively worse for minorities.
