People get this a lot. They want a woman to fill the role or quota, or they want X attribute to shore up "representation". In South Africa people will be openly told that they will never get a promotion because of their race and sex.

I'm NOT saying that wasn't their motivation, I'm saying they would never explicitly tell anyone that it was their motivation as it is very illegal.

I directly know people who've had this said to them. South Africa has even more discriminatory laws than the US's affirmative action.

I'm just refuting the obviously silly claim that it's impossible to have heard this. Of course it's possible, even if it's illegal.

In the US it is very likely to be a lie
