The problems as I see it that the observation that protected class, female
and minority, may be less qualiifed it based on anecdotal evidence. Yet,
I suspect that political consideration prevent any statistical evidence from
being available. So anecdotal evidence may be all that exists.

There is a problem with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
mentality, and thats the assumption that a proportional number of qualified
protected class members in fact do exist. This is an assumtion which has
not been proven and is politically imposible to challenge. From the
biological perspective no two groups are have equal abilities in anything.
Sprinters tend to be black. Swimmers white, and garbage men male.

The difference is that we don't have the EEOC attempting for force
proportional equity on to basketball players or garbage men. If the EEOC
did the result might be equally absurd.

I'd say you hit that nail squarely on the head!
