Just over a decade ago, there was a job ad for a host role with the state-funded Canadian Broadcasting Corporation that explicitly required applicants to be "Any race except Caucasian".

While it was portrayed as a "mistake" during the subsequent backtracking, that incident certainly planted a seed of doubt in my mind.

every employer that has quotas for non-white employees? that necessarily follows.

not that its not limited to race. if an org wants more women they will actively select candidates based on gender first.
