It is helpful to look at companies who have this type of thing embedded into their culture, but that will only help so much - especially if the industry as a whole is skewed. But I mean on the other hand, if you are at a company that highly prioritizes diversity, they might be more receptive to if you were to just say something about this to the DEI committee or equivalent channel.
If you are treated the same as everyone else, does it matter? I'm not in the majority at my firm, but I feel I am treated the same as everyone else. I would like more people that have a similar ethnic background as mine, but I don't think I'm disadvantaged without it. I would leave if I were.
I do think it can put you at a certain disadvantage if you aren't included in all the "reindeer games" (sorry for the non-holiday neutral phrasing but that was the best phrasing I could think of off the top of my head lol...). In theory, it could also lead to organizational inefeciencies as well. From my experience and from what I know about team dynamics, it is very important for team members to be able to engage in open communication with one another (not just with management) This helps combat things like group think, the bandwagon effect, and can also combat other fallacies (because you get more diverse perspectives).
