That’s how it gets described sometimes, but it’s about as accurate a description as “US white men prioritize hiring white men over any other demographic unless they are actively discouraged from doing so”.
One of the things to come out of discovery in the Damore lawsuit was Google's head of HR declaring a moratorium on hiring white males. Technically a Civil Rights Act violation, but more commonly practiced and tolerated on the downlow than one might suppose absent insider information like what came out of discovery in the Damore lawsuit.

Do you have a source for this? The closest thing I could find is [1], which says some Google employee (not the head of HR) suggested such a moratorium on an internal mailing list. It’s not clear that such a policy was ever implemented or even seriously considered.

Even if you can find a sw Eng job, salaries have dropped to ~2019-2020 levels Factor in inflation since then and it’s a huge effective pay drop
My signing RSUs have all vested and were not renewed, and my salary increase hasn’t matched inflation. I’m pretty sure I can end up effectively better paid by moving this year.
Best of luck.
My pay peaked in 2001. If subsequent job moves and raises had kept up with inflation, I'd be making just under $150,000 a year today.
As it stands, the job market is so poor (and my skills need updating, to be honest) I'm having trouble getting a job that pays even $80k.
