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.
I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.

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