Ask HN: Am I being asked to discriminate on behalf of your company?

Voluntary Disclosures on US job applications are used to audit classes of hires. If 90% of your applicants are women, you'd expect 90% of your hires to be.

When I select a classification, that race/ethnic/gender should be weighted more heavily in hiring decisions. Thereby I am expressing a preference, which the company then acts on.

    Sorry, why?

    When you say “should”, do you mean that is what you expect happens, or do you mean that is ideally what would happen?
