I agree the end result may not be a good one and is one we want to fix, but


I don't think it is "racist' against black people

I think this is a decent definition of racism (emphasis added): prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against a person or people ON THE BASIS OF THEIR MEMBERSHIP IN A PARTICULAR GROUP.

I would bet that Google's engineering organization has an underrepresentation of black employees. Does that mean Google's policy of only hiring people with engineering degrees to be engineers is a racist policy or is racist against black people because fewer black people get engineering degrees?
