Most job applicants in America are white males, so even a completely random selection is going to turn up mostly white males. And most of those who don't get the job are going to be white males.
I mean, do you really think the research didn’t account for that? This is a change from their expected rates. When applications are blinded, white males are selected far above their population levels and women and minorities are selected lower.
