I can guarantee you that I was this past year (not hired because I’m a ‘white’ male)...hiring committee broke all the ‘rules’...details too numerous to mention...thought about legal action but chose not to do so.
Went home figured that that was that.
Month later was called and told the job had opened up again. So, I got the job I said.
NO, I had to interview again.
Told them I wasn't going to be their token white guy so there was a place they could stick their job.
Move on.
