It's just not a real thing. People don't get hired for their race in highly specialized jobs. It's just racist nonsense.
I can tell you with certainty it happens in tech. This is probably not "highly specialized" but unless I am to ignore the very obvious anti-white anti-male undertones of the monthly all-hands HR segments the sorting algorithm based on victim hierarchy is well and truly alive. I work for a coastal company though so perhaps this effective is magnified significantly.
Are there really anti-white anti-male undertones, or is it just a problem for you when anyone else is centered?
“Trust me bro it happens at my company.”

Similar thing happened to me, though I didn't do the experiment.
And no, I am not "crying about it". But it is a real thing.
A executive recruiter working for an American company here in Europe told me that if she comes up with a white/male candidate, she has to get approval from the US head-office.

Anecdotal evidence is sufficient for "this does happen".
Whereas the absolute claim that this 100% does not happen was "trust me bro"
The US legal system seems to agree that this happens:

Or how about this: "As a recruiter, do you have any experience of a 'no white men' policy?"
19% answered "yes, explicit policy", with another 20% saying "implicit guidance"

"My boss said ‘we didn’t need another White guy.’ Say what?"

"To be clear, the candidate was eminently qualified, had made it through multiple rounds of interviews, and was the clear favorite among almost everyone who spoke with him. Further, it’s not like he lost out to someone else — they simply didn’t hire him, and the company started the hiring process all over again!"
This stuff is easy to find and verify.
