Yeah, optics matter, but a reasonable person might take your comment as saying "optics matter more than merit".

Your last sentence doesn't follow. Maybe you could replace a sexist old man with a man who isn't sexist?

This is not testable. Move what you can measure.

Ok, so how do you test that a female hire isn't racist?
