"Discriminates against"?

Or rather "does not discriminate in favor of"?.

I think it's the second, which seems to be perfectly right: hire the best person for the job.

Can you logically explain why you jumped to the conclusion that the black applicants weren't the best for the job?

It's a logical conclusion at which to arrive.

Facebook has literally spent millions of dollars and thousands of man-hours in this effort; recruiters even are given bonuses for hires that tick the right boxes.

Compared to the rest of America and much of the world, they have a culture so woke as to be mistaken for parody. If suitable applicants (IE both qualified and possessing the requisite number of oppression points) HAD presented themselves, they would have been snapped up immediately.
