It's a motte-and-bailey argument, in fact. The whole purpose of the "skill based hiring" argument is to serve as a comfortable retreat from the more controversial "black people can't fly planes".
It is always based upon skills. DEI just asks employers to consider hiring outside white males. This is a bridge too far for racists.
