I think, after some more thought, and a conversation with another on the subject; minorities and women have faced discrimination their entire lives. If they can't perform in front of an audience then that says they are not good candidates because ability to perform is a learned talent, and is required in any technical endeavor. That fact that the folks publishing this paragraph have found a decided increase in minorities and women says more about their biases that it does about the folks who were hired.
