Eh... I dont agree this is a good sign. I've heard that many of the layoffs were white males, and they have programs to focus on "equity" to hire low pay or no pay "diversity" interns (and programs run by BLM) and attempt to get the trained to be productive within a year... many of the H1B types are pretty terrible and don't work out so they probably swapped some low wage failures with some others.

I don't think this means suddenly there will be more good jobs for talented Americans.

And also, I'm not saying that "non-white" Americans can't be good engineers, I have worked with many... just that if they aren't good enough to actually figure things out already... randomly hiring a bunch of interns who are not really all that qualified is not likely to work. A few natural talents will emerge probably... but its the same for "white" people too.
