Two points, my BIL is black and a high end executive at an aerospace company. He was a fight pilot in the Navy and got very disgusted when they started changing standards back in the 80s to allow for women pilots. In his flight training there was no room for error, they washed you out for a minor mistake. When the ladies started to get integrated in the program do overs became quite common.
Now they are attempting to increase the amount of fighter pilots based on race. This will not end well, do overs are one thing and I can see an argument about improving training being made to counter criticism against the change. Because they are still training them up to standard.
Also, my wife left her husband app 30 years ago and wanted to go to school and to get a grant she had to take a state approved raise your female self esteem course. She described the teachers as nutty man haters. they wanted all the ladies to become welders or truck drivers, my wife wanted to study cosmetology. They hated that. According to their testing their program , as rigged as what it probably was, lowered her "self esteem".
The only benefit to these programs is the bottom line of those who sell these seminars and programs. The discrimination is more than evil because it's not really done in a failed attempt to elevate marginalized people( still wrong of course), it's all about their income stream.
