Bingo.
Recently, there's been started a movement to end "blind auditions" in hiring for orchestral groups. Blind auditions were started with the goal of removing discrimination from the hiring process, to provide equal access for individuals without respect to their race, color, creed, etc.
However, apparently it is the case that when blind auditions are employed, you cannot ensure "equity": you cannot ensure that you'll wind up with a certain percentage of, say, black orchestra members... because you aren't taking race into account in the hiring practice at all.
And so, the Woke wish to add discrimination back into the hiring process (so long as the beneficiaries are minorities, and the ones discriminated against are male, white, etc.). They call it "justice."
