<If I really hate a demographic on the inside, and I even let people
know my personal prefrence, but as an officer of the corporation make
all decisions fairly, and I don't deny anything to anybody even if I
can't stand the ground they walk on, I've broken no law. I may not be a
great person, but I'm still OK legally.>

This may be correct but the problem is that, once you've stated your
preferences, any decisions made, no matter how fairly, will be tainted
by fact.
If you choose X over Y and X ties in with your preferences then, no
matter how good the reason (other than preference) for choosing X, there
will always be a hint that it WAS down to your preference. To many
companies that wouldn't be acceptable - even the possibility of a
discrimination case could be detrimental to business.
