Sort of. These policies are really a mixed bag. A lot of fire departments in the 90's were doing affirmative action things and wound up having to stop because it was getting people hurt and things were burning.
Turns out if there's a job that's actually important, you should probably hire the best people for the job. Not the best "of certain demographic" that applied.
That's been disproven multiple times. The issue was the fire departments were not training the Probies with any real HOT because they didn't want them.

What are you even trying to say?
They went from hiring and promoting based on testing, to hiring and promoting based on ethnicity and gender. So if ten people applied and tested for a captains position and the four highest scoring applicants were white guys, they'd promote number 5.
