My "discrimination rant" is informed by my ex-girlfriend being hired for an M&S/OpenCL job as a non-programming mech-e. Why? Because all the work was already done and it would look better to the government client to have a female, black engineer sit around in a SCIF doing nothing all day. Stuff like this is absolutely rampant.

  No, this is what I was told verbatim by her. Her next stop had marketing soliciting her to write BLM articles for the corporate blog! Please keep trying to gaslight me and all my fellow colleagues who have to commit fraud and claim their wives own 51% of their business entity that we're the racists though.

    I don't see anyone in this thread accusing you of being racist. Please don't flamebait.

This is absolutely true. Government contractors have what is effectively diversity quotas. People will get hired to fill the quota regardless of what they actually do. It’s absolutely not true that diversity hires are all useless, but there are significant incentives to create diversity numbers in order to gain a government contract. Hiring 100 people to do nothing and get the lucrative contract is better than hiring based on need and not getting the contract.

It’s clear you just want to be heard but that doesn’t prove that’s what happened to your application “assumption” doesn’t imply a lack of truth, it points out your inability to know that out of all possibilities, which possibility applies it means there is no point in doubling down on your data point of 1 in 1 niche industry when there is this other industry wide practice occurring as well an industry wide practice that would affect minorities applying as well as existing employees alike
