Before people say forced diversity stuff is a meme, this semester (before corona-chan), some of my professors went and met with several companies in our industry (EE) to see what they were looking for, so they could prepare us for the job market better. The Intel rep said, and our department head relayed to us, that if you were a white male your resume would literally not make it through HR to get to his desk. His guidance was that the only realistic way into Intel, at least in his department, was to either be a minority or have a personal connection with a hiring engineer so you could bypass HR.
