Yeah, and then the manager blamed us for not saying anything about all the other jobs this chick had been applying to and getting offers from. Well, it's not my place or business to go rat people out; in addition, I am not a supervisor. This is EXACTLY the crap that happens when there are quotas for hiring "minorities." This one was not only a young college grad, but female AND "Hispanic." Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out once there is a Hisp manager, and she only hires Hispanics (5 out of 5 in the last two years), there is something fishy going on.

I thought quotas and affirmative action stuff went away - apparently people still can't get jobs on their own merit.

Another big problem with quota systems, apart from the fact that they shouldn't exist, period, is that competence and qualifications for the job aren't necessary. Here's a bumper sticker I'd like to have:
