Everyone hired is based on merit. The only thing that's really changed is that if you weren't a white male, you had very little chance of getting selected from that merit pool. Now conferences are making a more concerted effort to look broader in that merit pool to select the type of people who weren't selected previously. Are there some who are maybe selected a little early? Absolutely. But that was also true when they only selected white males.
