While that's true, it doesn't mean it's a good solution. I was commenting on whether or not the solution was optimal, not whether or not it was able to fulfill legal requirements. If a solution is needed to fulfill legal requirements, but is not optimal, that would speak to something being wrong in the law that needs to be updated. Laws usually exist for good reasons, but they shouldn't defeat the bigger picture. And while I'm no legal expert, my shallow research tells me this is more of an issue in US law, not necessarily laws of other nations. In Canada, we have the requirement to give preference to minorities where qualifications are equal. If qualifications are not equal, the one who is more qualified gets the job. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
