This is utter madness. How is this not illegal for running afoul of discrimination law? While we’re at it, affirmative action should also be banned for instituting discrimination.

Even leaving that aside, it is plainly illogical to create this kind of system. Where does it stop? Why not also allocate some weighting for the urban versus rural origin gap? Or for religious representation? Or for those who are overweight and those who aren’t? It is arbitrary to focus just on certain characteristics like race in this way.
