Sure you're tougher, stronger, in better shape than the two examples you gave, but there are reasons they hire those other people...its not simply to pick on white guys like you.

Don't talk to me like I have no idea why they chose those people over white males. I have been in law enforcement for over 6 years now.
There is a difference in hiring minorities for the purposes you stated over white males when they MEET the same requirements. It's pretty pathetic when you can only get a job if they lower the standards to hire you. I was not the only one that was ****ed because of this. There was a complaint issued by over 8 people because of what happened out of this ONE incident. It happens all the time.
I was lucky enough that another agency decided to hire me on my qualification rather than my appearance.
I guess my degree wasn't as good as their diploma.
