Are we defining a symptom of a bigger/different problem here?

Most developers and hiring manager i've meet do not look at color/gender when hiring, and when i have seen it, it was usually in the interest of getting more' diversity.

Maybe i am missing part of the picture, but the way i see it, could it be a supply problem?

I mean developers are a hot commodity these days, passing someone up because of aesthetics's is just bad business.

It absolutely can be a supply problem, but that's addressed in the post, isn't it?
