What the law says and what happens in the courtroom differ. It's illegal to discriminate, but in practice that means it's "illegal" to have a workforce skewed too far towards the white male. Businesses are simply obeying the law as enforced, not the law as written. We see the same thing from both sides--look at the recent cases where hospitals have refused to perform life-saving abortions. They're not going to jail if she dies, they might go to jail if they save her. Hence despite the law saying they have to do it they don't. |

I'm not from US, if it wasn't clear.
that difference doesn't exists here.
But most importantly, if it's illegal, it shouldn't be permitted
Classifying worker based on some personal attribute is illegal here and it's punished by the courts.
Because it's the law.
You can't measure diversity, the best you can do is separate male workers from female workers because it's used by the national institute of statistics to calculate the official unemployment rates by gender.
And that's all the diversity you can measure.
Other forms of diversity are measured through not so reliable polls or authorized studies.
It's not something companies can do on their own.
