Is it fair to claim equal opportunity when you give more opportunities to other people?

You are ultimately selecting the factors which could affect the outcome of that opportunity.

How is that not discrimination? How do you pick and choose what you consider diverse?

When you select the factors you're ultimately not an equal opportunity employer anymore in my opinion.

Googles careers page advertises that they're both in equal opportunity employer and an affirmative action employer:

> Google is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace and is an affirmative action employer.

So I guess the answer is yes.

That's so strange to me, how do you define equal opportunity when you directly affect that opportunity based on third party factors out of someones control.

I believe oxymoron is what its called.

[a figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms appear in conjunction]
