> with many recruitment programs blatantly saying they are only for minorities

Really? I understood that it was illegal to discriminate based on gender, race, etc in the US

It is illegal, but that doesn't stop people from doing it. In the US, things like this have to go to court to actually be struck down, and there haven't been any sympathetic plaintiffs suing over these laws yet.

When "positive discrimination" makes it before a judge, it usually gets stuck down.
