In reply to cc. It looks like this would give the advantage to applicants who are themselves members of the kinds of minorities UCSD wants to encourage. All they have to do is say that they will serve as role models and mentors for students like themselves. Non-minority applicants, on the other hand, have to show that they have engaged in the right sorts of activities or have the right sort of political views. Look at the samples on the linked web site. One is from a Latino, another from a woman from a country "near the Middle East".

At UC San Diego, simply affirm your commitment to supporting “underrepresented minorities” on campus, such as conservatives or libertarians. Problem solved.

The only people who can pass this litmus test at UC San diego are hard core leftists. It would be simply unacceptable to say that work should be based on merit and that it is not the job of a math professor to be engaging in advocacy or social engineering. I in fact applied for a job at one of the Cali schools and not doubt got the circular file for not being sufficiently woke.
