> Summary: "I can't tell the difference between discriminatory hiring [rejecting based on identity] and targeted hiring [seeking people out based on identity]."
Educate me - does this mean that an ad that says "blacks and women need not apply" is discriminatory, but an ad featuring that says "applicants must be white, male, or both" would be "targeted hiring"?

If anything is a hallmark of bad ideology, it's making a mock summary of other people's thoughts so you can valiantly take it down from a distance without ever engaging with it.

That's arguably a kind of hiring.
Author even acknowledges the previous policy (which does sound discriminatory based on their framing) is no longer in place at LLVM, which is the focus of the article.
This is not really about "open source." It's about LLVM, and springs off randomly at "open source" using poor-quality non-citations, weasel words (of the species "some people say"), and other hallmarks of bad, ideologically-tilted writing.
