Apparently, she thought establishing a minority status would help her in seeking jobs, yet on every job application I’ve completed, and I have completed a lot lately, it states clearly that the company does NOT discriminate on the basis of sex or race. What gives?

What a company says and what the hiring manager does (and it is VERY HARD to discern his inner motives) are two different things.
For instance, it is against the law to discriminate in your hiring and firing based on a person’s AGE. Yet, it is a known fact ( and open secret ) that those above the age of 55 are the one’s who are :
1) MOST OFTEN THE FIRST TO BE LAID OFF
2) NOT UNDER CONSIDERATION FOR HIRING.
I know I am going to get the occasional post from some FReepers saying he is being hired at an above 55 age and so, but his does nothing to refute the fact that this is happening most often.
In France for instance, there have been numerous cases where a minority (often, North African) college graduate CHANGED his name on a resume and actually got the job interview compared to when he used his real African name.
Same principle applies to what a company writes in its legal forms.
What gives?...It does not discriminate unless you are white. That is why that is there. Indian? Black? Asian? Top of the list. Ignorant? Illiterate? No education to fit the job description? Consider the white guy.
...the company does NOT discriminate on the basis of sex or race. What gives?
If the “company” has any contracts with the feral gubbmint they have to report the number of “special people”, i.e. designated minorities they employ annually to said gubbmint.
If all of your employees are older white males it is highly unlikely you will get the contract in the first place much less have it renewed.
-—it states clearly that the company does NOT discriminate on the basis of sex or race. What gives?——
It just means that they discriminate on the basis of sex and race.
I never went wrong assuming that HR speaks with forked tongue.

Ah, but you forgot that she was trying to get in to HAAAVAAD, that haven for the “culturally disadvantaged.”
