10% are likely to be high performers
You would want to recruit from the entire 100. Only going after group A would limit your chances of finding talent.
Countries that don't hire women, for instance, are ignoring 50% of their potential workforce. That means you have to hire more crappy people. . .
Diversity is good. . .though I think corporations can go a little crazy. i.e. you could do the opposite (hire too many of a group, thus getting bad candiates anyway)

Diversity pushed artificially with social activism is a farce and a ball-and-chain on efficiency and productivity. You're talking pie-in-the-sky theory and I'm talking reality.
Reality is that "diversity" in today's corporate world is a study in dead weight - a collection of people who can't relate to each other or even communicate with each other. It is just another facet of the PC nonsense at the root of our nation's decline.
