I worked with gifted black and brown kids in Washington, D.C. in the mid-90s and I always find these attempts, almost always in the name of racial equity, to be such a slap in the face to those kids who finally got to feel normal for once in their life. They NEEDED to be around other smart kids or else they just felt like weirdos and outcasts. As someone else wrote, high IQ IS a special need and it's not one that our society can afford to squander AND it's cruel to squander it for kids who otherwise could be bright, excited, full of hope and feeling seen for, perhaps, the first time in their lives.
