Responding to your last comment, which I can't reply to yet.
I was proving my first claim about what they mean by "underrepresented groups." They literally said that they'll give priority to underrepresented minorities or sexes. That is a clear case of discrimination, which is outlawed by the Civil Rights Act.
No, they said they'd give underrepresented groups priority, which include minorities. Favoring "underrepresented groups" does not inherently discriminate against any particular race or sex, thus there is no issue.
But hey, maybe I'm wrong. You should consult a lawyer, you might have a huge suit on your hands.
> Student Training in Engineering Program (STEP) is a development program committed to addressing issues surrounding diversity in our company and in the technology industry, and as such students who are a member of a group that is historically underrepresented in the technology industry will receive priority in the selection process. This group includes women, ethnic minorities and students with disabilities
your quote does not prove that African immigrant children are getting more than inner city Blacks, nor does it violate the Civil Rights act. "Students with disabilities" can be of any race, thus, the program could hypothetically include any person of any background, and so there's no issue.
Not to mention that their list was not exhaustive. There are other groups that are unrepresented other than the ones they mentioned.
what exactly is your qualm?
