Ya, I agree it doesn't fix anything. I think that the first step in addressing the issue is to have companies be more open with this data so you can actually track if things are changing for the better. That's my goal with this article.

I think defining "for the better" is the contention, not the existence or visibility of the data. There are people who say that a workforce must be exactly proportionate to the racial makeup of the population. There are people that say no, we need more minorities to be hired to make up for injustice. There are people that say no, it should be purely meritocratic. Resolving this tension is key IMO.

That's a fair point. Personally I've been convinced by research that diversity improves business and financial performance.
