> What happens in the near future when White is a minority in the US

The whole focus on minority/majority in these discussions is sort of a reflection of the fact that the overrepresented, dominant, advantaged class at the time the issues became a focus of discussion happened to be a majority; but the real substantial difference is advantage, not minority/majority status.

> Hiring from a club that excludes one or more races is bad juju.

Sure, but supplementing the pool of candidates that substantially underrepresents certain race/ethnicities with additional candidates from a dedicated funnel which only includes those race/ethnicities and then making a race/ethnicity-neutral hiring decision from that expanded pool of candidates is different from just hiring from the exclusive pool.
