In my HR hat, I would be reluctant to hire anybody that had recent training that was explicitly given exclusively to one race or excluding other federally protected classes like religion, gender, or handicap.

I don't get why this gets downvoted, it's a fair comment.
A group for emigrants in a foreign country would be reasonable, but just segregating by gender and race like this where there is no language or cultural barrier is unnecessary and could be harmful.
Probably because it misses the point entirely and in an almost comical way uses “HR” as an excuse to exclude from the hiring process someone for a reason other than merit or ability?
Maybe OP would also exclude folks from religious institutions as well, people who learned to code at BYU or a Catholic college, or one of the like 30,000 Christian high schools, but I would probably downvote that sentiment too.
