I would counter that by pointing out that the actual racist/sexist hiring practices are what led to the imbalance in diversity in the tech field, and I'm not excluding anyone due to their race/sex (no quotas, no "I won't hire white guys" etc) but for every job post if there are 200 applicants, 10 worth interviewing and 3 that I am seriously considering, it becomes a judgement call who I want on my team but I I do not use race or sex as the deciding factor |

Can you name "actual racist/sexist hiring practices"? I'm not american, but my understanding is that lack of women in tech comes from that fact that more women are interested in people that things. 80%+ women go to nursing schools, 80%+ men go into engineering. If you make society more egalitarian you maximise those differences between sexes, hence 10-15% of women engineers in Norway and 30% in Bangladesh.
no idea if that is caused by biology or social framework (the way you were raised, a lot of software jobs are in contracting, so no maternity leave etc.)
