Yeah that would be a lovely change over the history of rejecting people purely based on being black female etc.
There is a possibility to make an effort to correct a nations shamefully bigoted history. While still choosing qualifying people to do it.
Unless you some how assume they would not be qualified just because they are not white males. Much as 1960s nasa and the whole of the US did during the space race.
