These have to be the silliest rules or standards companies have ever tried to put in place. I don't know about anyone else but I don't care what race, gender, sexual orientation or about any of that stuff. Just hire the best person available. If it happens to be a woman, a transgender person, a minority or whatever, that has Jack Squat to do with anything if they are the most qualified, hire them. No body cares or at least I don't.

'Racist'. These are the Racist rules they tried to put into place. As in, Actually racist. Not the 'they criticized a person who also happens to be a racial minority within the context of the entire US population' or 'OMG you mentioned the race in a news report about a crime being commited by somoene who is also a minority'...

But Actually, Real racist.
