> Diversity efforts have always focused on outreach, not on discarding resumes because the candidate is a white male.

This is factually inaccurate, for example the BBC recently advertised positions where white people were explicitly excluded.

I'm talking about a particular context. I'm sure you can cite "reverse-racism" in post-Apartheid South Africa too, but that isn't germane to the conversation.

Of course you were.

That's why you said "Diversity efforts have always focused on outreach" (my emphasis) and not "Diversity efforts have sometimes focused on outreach" or even "In this particular context, diversity efforts focused on outreach"
