>To ignore this systemic bias would be to endorse it, which is in effect the same as endorsing institutionalized bias against the minorities affected.

Which is an attempt to imply that you must take race into account when hiring or you're a racist, without actually saying that, because it would be roundly rejected by most people if made plain.
