This is incredibly disappointing. The audacity to complain when literally EVERYTHING is tilted in favor of white people. It the very reason rules and laws like this were created. Even this lady doesn't realize that she set back equal employment opportunities for women by decades. Now every fucking time a white man doesn't get a job and a woman or Black person does they will sue for "discrimination".
