Don't get me wrong, just becuase they are a minority does not make them less qualified or becuase they are white makes them qualified.

How many people in charge of hiring REALLY have the time to hire and then fire a minority, just to avoid litigation? They could be opening themselves up to litigation for wrongful termination.
In today's job market, some people just need to realize that it's really competitive, and there are probably lots of reasons you didn't get the job, not just b/c you're white and they're looking for minorities
I'm willing to best that most people never find out why they weren't hired for a job.
Numerous newsmagazine shows [20/20, etc] have done experiments that show that minorities are still discriminated against in the US, along w/ fat people and short people, and gays.
What if someone is hired instead of you b/c they're a GDI and you're Greek, and the person doing the hiring is threatened by Greeks? Have you experienced "anti-Greek discrimination?".
When I hear "reverse discrimination", I hear the whines of spoiled white kids who for the first time in their lives didn't get what they wanted. Get over it.
In life you don't always get what you want, and your skin is not always the reason. Maybe they didn't like the way you spoke, or carried yourself. Or, perhaps the other candidates had better credentials. Or, perhaps, the person who got the job was just like you - what then???????
