As companies trim the fat to stay competitive the tokens are the first to go; in the end, a company wants to know you can help it make money - and the tokens are just measures taken to prevent lawsuits. They provide no value to a company at all.

WELL PUT.

QUESTION: Wouldn't preventing lawsuits be of SOME value to a company?

“QUESTION: Wouldn’t preventing lawsuits be of SOME value to a company?”

Yes, it does; companies simply retain other “preferred minorities” that meet the criterion set by the courts (but actually offer some value beyond the lawyer-repellent). In my area that would be Hispanics and women.
