the only reason Google doesn't just outright ban white men from applying for engineering jobs is

Please don't troll on HN.

Sadly, this isn't trolling. There's a lawsuit that claims much evidence of this:

Maybe you don't agree with those claims but please don't simply write off anything you don't like the sound of as trolling.

Cool, you should sue. The SJW women are suing alleging Google has been discriminating against them: https://googlegendercase.com/ Are you going to let the SJWs win? It sounds like you have an open-and-shut case, from what you're claiming.

Again, that's not what's under dispute. What is being claimed is that Googlers have no reason to doubt that every person there met the hiring bar. Even in your scenario, that would still be true. Even if Google refrained entirely from hiring white men - which, yes, would be illegal - they could still enforce the hiring bar.

There's already such a lawsuit by a recruiter:

I don't have any documents or hard evidence, just what I saw and heard. So I can't contribute to that case even if I wanted to get involved.
