I work on Bay Street.  Part of my job is to hire people.  Young professionals, and some older professionals.  Our group - 50+ people - is overwhelmingly white and male.  I would love to hire more women and minorities and have done so when the opportunity presents itself.  But when 80+% of our qualified applicants are white males, there is not much you can do about it.  I hire based on merit, and run an structured process so questions are not about "are you a Leafs fan" and "where is your cottage" etc.  And our hiring reflects the makeup of our applicants, so I do not believe our process is racist.  But after interviewing hundreds of applicants over the years, I believe only three were black (and we ended up hiring two).   To me the biggest issue is getting qualified female and minority candidates to apply.
