"You're arguing for the status quo, against setting targets for HBCU grads."
I'm not, and this is a real problem with the kind of thinking in this area these days. Opposition to a quota system is not the same as support of the status quo.
"I only made one contention: graduates of HBCUs are under-represented in tech."
> The mgmt might also think that the resulting diversity of thought is beneficial.
The implication that diversity in ethnicity, gender, etc., is the same as diversity of thought is not a good quality assertion. It certainly isn't uniformly true.
> work at such a forward looking company.
"Forward looking" is certainly an assertion, here. Not everyone would agree that quotas are "forward looking."
