True, but I think the issue is that quality engineers of color are few. When I say supply side, I mean, there are far fewer graduates of color in STEM from top universities, etc.

I'm shocked you're not grayed out already, despite being correct as far as I can tell. Minorities are highly sought after everywhere I work, yet I've seen extremely few. Most of my teams have wanted some diversity because we grow tired of the same kind of people, just on a personal level it's fun to have new dynamics and to stir things up. I just don't think you can force people to want particular kinds of careers. No one could have encouraged me enough to get me to sign up for mental health, or communications.
Maybe that is because education in top universities is very expensive so only people from rich and middle class families can afford it?
You're both begging the question that only candidates from top universities get interviews.
