I understand what you are saying. But you are narrowing the definition of "superiority" for convenience. Making a policy on hiring by race is making a claim about that races' superiority, period.
The idea of racial diversity gets brought up a lot. My question is: Why would racial diversity matter to someone who believes no race has more value than any other race? It wouldn't. Race either adds value to your standing with a company, or it is irrelevant. If it adds value, that's racism.
The fall back argument for AA has always been about correcting historical oppression and going after racist hiring practices.
That's a slightly different argument, but it's just as silly. You don't fix racism with more racism, for one thing. And you can't look at a place that has 90% white people and say "Well the hiring manager is obviously racist." That is the exact same backward logic being applied to the absurd claims being made about police.
