If this was really about race (as opposed to skills) non-racist companies would be more effective and out-compete the rest, especially given current shortage. These companies would probably be started by the discriminated people in the first place. Pervasive unjust discrimination is only possible in mono and oligopolies and/or if the law compels it.

Racism can't exist because it's inefficient? Great! Glad we got that little "racism" problem solved. Good work.

If what you call racism is inefficient, you should explain what market barriers prevent its disappearance, for developers in the developed world, in the UK in particular.
If its efficient, by calling it a problem you're implicitly saying that some people - presumably company owners? - should make their companies & teams less efficient, which is another way of saying they should waste resources. Even if some would agree with you, by doing that they would open themselves to a danger of being outcompeted by more efficient entities.
