They do in their model. Being Asian carries with it the worst relative odds of being hired, though it is not responsible for the overall negative non-white male coefficient (Black and Hispanic applicants also have negative coefficients in the logit)

Seems to make sense relative to each other. D&I initiatives often times target Black and Hispanic candidates, but not Asian since they are not underrepresented.
