“Enjoyed” is not the right word either.

For the last 500 years white men have had preferential treatment when it came to hiring. Indeed a stronger word than “enjoyed” is merited. But you think using “enjoyed” is too strong a word to use to describe such a state of affairs?

Perhaps “benefited from” is a better term. One that doesn’t have an emotional connotation.

But you are not stopping preferential treatment due to race, you advertise for it.
