it's there: deliberate management manipulation of the candidate pool

In which direction was the manipulation? How do you prove that the pool manipulation was neutral before and is now favouring blacks, rather than it was disadvantaging blacks and has now moved to a more neutral postion?

"has existed for a long time" is just an appeal to tradition. It says nothing about the validity or correctness of the previous situation.

Anonymize the applicants. You can determine what a neutral pool is by removing the ability to discriminate between applicants of different race, gender, etc.
