alansmithee you say that basically its white men complaining, however this seems rather racist in itself.
Two people apply for the same job, one has the qualifications you asked for, the other one is clearly superior to the first guy. Who do you hire?
If the first is black? If the first is a woman? If the first is a black disabled woman? My answer would probably be the second guy irrespective of who/what the first person is because the second person is better than the first.
Now I know that I have been discriminated against in both jobs and scholarships, I know because I have spoken with the interviewers and heck even been involved in the interview process when you are told that we need to hire women/men/others etc to fill quotas, its not funny and I don't want to participate in it. People should be picked on skill and ability rather than any thing external, some of the best guys in Electronics I know are white males(is it pc to say South African?), others are asian females (or is it pc to say Chinese now?) however the best person should get that job, if its a toss up between the two candidates then things like filling quotas should perhaps be considered as there is no other way to distinguish between the candidates but starting on the wrong foot is well wrong to start.
