Anonymously applying doesn’t remove the unfair advantage. It barely scratches the surface. No one group can strip away advantage, so you’re left giving relatively small advantage to underprivileged demographics.
This is like someone who was born into money complaining about not getting welfare.
It’s more like acknowledging that under such a system of selective advantages, many underprivileged demographics slip through the cracks because they’re not one of the vogue disadvantaged demographics. You’re left with towering historic advantages, surrounded by a hierarchy of new trendy advantages, rising in proportion to the power of their advocacy groups. That’s not a level playing field, it’s a city skyline.
A step in the right direction for those with well-funded advocacy groups. For those without, it’s a further step in the wrong direction. Either demographic-based discrimination by private entities is a problem or it isn’t. You don’t get to morally vindicate selective bias because it was biased in your favor this time. Eliminate the bias.
You don’t get to hold other people back just because some people are still held back. If it’s so important to you, donate time and money to those other groups.
