The U.S. Labor Department has sued Oracle America Inc, alleging that the technology company systematically paid its white, male employees more than other workers and unlawfully favored Asian applicants in its recruiting and hiring efforts.
The department in a complaint filed with an administrative judge in Washington said the company was prohibited from engaging in racial discrimination given the hundreds of millions of dollars it receives as a contractor with the federal government.

That is all that matters.
Why would skin color or genitalia make a difference?!
Basically, Oracle found that white males are paid a lot of money (why?), so it instead looked for a cheaper alternative: Asian males.
So, I guess you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.
