Maybe not, but to exclude those that are, simply because they are white and when they cannot get coloured individuals and or women through the door, is diminishing the pool even further, at least if you took in the white recruits you might be attaining closer to your target recruitment numbers regardless of sex or colour... it is barking mad to exclude them.
Personally having targets in any way, shape or form based on colour or sex is just ludicrous, it should at the end of the day be simply based on attaining the needed numbers and recruiting the best from those people. I would rather have an intelligent skilled motivated individual standing next to me than someone who is less than ideal, but is simply recruited to fill some woke adgenda while better candidates are overlooked.
