Why can't the SV tech firms not provide affirmative action for the underprivileged lower-caste Dalits in hiring?

Affirmative action is already very controversial in the United States and is probably couple of supreme court cases away from being gutted. At least in academia. There isn't going be any action for a group of people that represents less than 2% of the total U.S population. If anything, this is probably an issue for states to decide. You'd need a sizable lobby to influence such an action.
For hiring in the US?
