It’s also important that, at least as to racial minorities, they oppose consideration of race in hiring and promotion by large margins: https://www.vox.com/2019/5/9/18538216/diversity-workplace-pe...

> White people were the most opposed to considering race and ethnicity in hiring and promotion: 78 percent said only qualifications should be considered. But a majority of black respondents (54 percent) and Hispanic respondents (69 percent) also said race and ethnicity shouldn’t be considered.

These are policies are being driven mostly by liberal whites oh behalf of racial minorities, but those minorities themselves mostly oppose such policies.
