> push for a less white (or asian male) workforce

I hadn't thought about it, but this might be an alternative explanation for the apparent ageism in hiring. Assuming that most "old" candidates are white/asian males, which is probably true, and assuming a bias against white/asian males, also probably true, you could end up with apparent ageism even though no one actually cares much about age. Interesting.

Doesn't matter that much in practice, as getting less white (Warren notwithstanding) isn't any easier than getting less old.
