The point is simple.

There are nonwhites, and females, who are competent and qualified, and
they should have an equal shot at the positions available. If they
should not have a LESSER, or NONEXISTENT, chance they should not have a
GREATER, or EXCLUSIVE chance either.

People should be chosen strictly with regard to ability, experience,
qualifications, competence and good character.

In most technical positions that will result in an overwhelming
percentage of males and most of those will be white, with some Asians,
Indians (India Indians, not American Indians), and so forth. American
Blacks will be underrepresented, because the reality is what it is: a
disproportionate share of Black males have felony or drug convictions,
making them ineligible for federal employment.

If that's racist (I don't think it is), then reality is racist. Ditto
with sexism. Most women are just not inclined towards being mechanics
-some are, and of those some do quite well, but numbers are numbers.
