I'm seeing extremely obvious and not-at-all-veiled hints that females, blacks, and latinos should be prioritised for hiring.

I may be n=1 person, but I've heard that similar things are happening at Apple, Disney, Dreamworks, several large game studios (you would have heard of them if you were in the space, but I won't mention them, because that industry is small), Google, Facebook/Meta... I'll just stop there, but suffice it to say, this isn't everything.

If me hearing about this sort of thing in all those places still somehow is so distant from your own personal experience that you'd qualify it as bullshit that people are making up... I just don't know what to say.

Admittedly, it seems they all have an oversized presence in California, and if somehow this phenomenon is 90% CA, and you've somehow never spoken to anyone who's ever experienced CA, I could see your ignorance of this being a distant possibility. But I also struggle to think that something that's nearly ubiquitous in CA is completely absent in the rest of the USA.

You're missing a gigantic chunk of what's happening to something like 90% of the populace. You might consider getting some information from outside your filter bubble, or talking to someone in one of those megacorps.
