It's state sponsored racism/sexism.
We should strive to give everyone the same shot, through universal free education, healthcare, etc.
Equality begins at birth, not when you're just out of high school.
Instead we do a shit job at being a functional society and decide after the fact that none of it matters and you gotta get them quotas going.
As long as DEI, Affirmative Action, Positive Racism w/e you want to call it exists, you will always have people questioning the reason behind a minority person/woman's employment, and their performance will always be scrutinized harder. Are they actually talented, or are they here to fill a quota? That is a valid question no matter what anyone will say.
