Yes they will if they can check one of the other boxes. I doubt this is even targeted towards race. Probably to get more guys wearing dresses promoted.Is it possible that there are white people from poor/diadvantaged backgrounds that lack the confidence to apply for those same upper level jobs? Will they be prodded and pulled? Will they be included in the group thought worthy of extra help?
I wouldn't bet on it. Just a new flavor of affirmative action
