It is illogical and sinful to assume that anyone is unqualified (or qualified). Everyone should be approached the same way ... with skepticism ... until more is known about them.
I’ve worked beside many whites who were unqualified. I’ve especially worked beside people who were hired and promoted based on their “good looks”. They got through college on their looks and charm. But they know zero about business and zero about technology.
Of course, the biggest discrimination is not against Blacks or Hispanics... it is against the UGLY. More than anyone else the ugly have to prove themselves and find an edge somehow.

I appreciate that you would put your kid under the knife of someone who may have gotten there because of skin color, since those doctors do need some patients or they’ll start forcing their way into my world.
But I only have a few kids, and I will always defer to people who I know got to where they are based on NOTHING but qualifications.

No it isn’t; with our current policies and quotas in place (in the workplace, universities, etc.) there is no reason to assume that someone who could “check a box” is anything more than just that. If those groups would like to be treated as competent adults, then let them scrap the system; I’m not holding my breath. Until those policies/quotas are done away with, there is very real reason to be suspicious of anyone in those categories in terms of competence.
The system in place is de facto government acknoledgment of racial and gender inferiority.
