What world are you living? Colleges and "Corporate culture" these days are all about opposing "whiteness."

On paper, yes. Everyone loves their diversity programs.
In reality?! Just look at the C and VP level of most large companies. Old white men galore [1] [2], and lower management and the drones aren't much better. And by the time a woman takes the helm, the company has often been run into the ground so hard that the board can't find another man willing to risk his reputation.
To make it worse, during the 'rona female representation at C-level actually fell [3].

You forgot the most important one for companies: use college or the preference for "ivy league" institutions which is on its own a neutral requirement as a proxy to weed out "undesirables" without violating the ADA and other laws: people with mental health issues and many physical disabilities don't stand a chance for the top grades, as do people from poor financial background.
It's all about keeping "corporate culture" aka White, rich and able. Anyone else is left for the bottom jobs of society.
