> ensuring you have proportional representation in the pool of applicants
But you don't in most cases. And a lot of that is because minorities, in general, have a less access to opportunities. By lifting up minorities individually, the goal is to raise them up at a systematic level. And the end goal of _that_ is so that they can/do have proportional representation in the pool of applicants. At which point, the biased treatment to get them there will no longer be necessary.
Admittedly, it's debatable as to whether that approach will work; but I haven't seen any other viable options put forth.
