Ask HN: As an URM where are the hand out jobs people mention all the time here

Not trying to bait, I've lurked here enough and I'm trying to have a good faith discussion. As an URM who grew up in what would be considered the hood and went on to get a non-CS STEM degree (think eng/math/phys/chem,which is where my programming experience comes from) where are these jobs that people mention in anecdotal stories that URM are handed despite not being qualified? For all the diversity companies seem to signal, and everyone seems to complain about people being given jobs unfairly, my job search has not reflected that. Might be despite my STEM degree I'm not good enough, but the lack of interviews I'm landing means I'm being filtered out from the start. The way people make it out to be here, those jobs are handed out. So are companies BSing? HN comments BSing? or who is getting these URM jobs? Does anyone have any advice or willing to provide some mentorship? Thanks, on a throw away because this is embarrassing.
