Here's an active job opening from a University in Canada, seeking a Research Chair in Experimental Physics. This stuff is everywhere. Even in science.

"Candidates must be from one or more of the following equity-seeking groups to apply: women, persons with disabilities, Indigenous peoples, and racialized groups"

Why don't they target income? Or wealth.

Would just seem fair that candidate must have less than median wage or net wealth in past let's say 3 years.

Socioeconomic diversity is almost certainly the best way to improve societal outcomes. But it’s hard to track and is less outwardly visible.

Ok? Some diversity hiring efforts are hardly an outrage.
