Why do we see so few East Asian, Hispanic, and Jewish NBA players? What policy would you create to correct this "injustice?"
If it wouldn't on average it's reasonable to assume that there is a bias of some sort. You can decide if this bias desirable or not.

Because they don't seem to care. If they would care, it is your decision whether you fight with them or implement a quota.
This doesn't answer my question. Is equality of outcome in the NBA a desirable goal or not?
If not, why is it one in science or tech fields?
> Because they don't seem to care.
I'm sure many do. Many women "don't seem to care" that they took nursing jobs while many men took software engineering jobs.
How many Hispanic men have to feel like they'd rather be famous millionaire basketball players before we get the NBA to start with racial quotas?
I don't mean to be pedantic. It just seems obvious that American black culture puts a heavier emphasis on basketball, and that results in more world-class basketball players. That in no way implies anything is wrong with basketball or the NBA, and therefore taking measures to bring about "equality of outcome" would be unfair and undesirable.
...and that's why policy attempting to create "equality of outcome" is not inherently desirable in science / tech (or anywhere else).
Sorry I didn't get that you were interested in my personal opinion on that topic. I just tried to tell you what I would find a reasonable approach to answer that question.

Yeah, seems like many of them are still ok with the situation. I'm just saying that it is likely that there will be a problem in the future and its better to fix it now than later. Plus, I think you would agree, that this problem is on a social level more relevant than your NBA example.
