People aren&#x27;t robots so meritocracy is a pipe dream. Everyone has biases (just different ones). And if that&#x27;s how the world works, then why the criticism of &quot;whitey&quot; being shaken down? 
Your post smacks of &quot;don&#x27;t hate the player, hate the game&quot; kind of reasoning. Another word for this is &quot;Supremacy&quot; or &quot;Entitlement&quot;. A black candidate doesn&#x27;t get the job so maybe he or she isn&#x27;t qualified, but as soon as the tables are turned for a white candidate, then all hell breaks loose.<p>In an ideal setting, the best candidate gets the job. But who is the best candidate? The black guy who doesn&#x27;t live in the bay area, with no formal education but had to self teach himself programming because he couldn&#x27;t afford to go to school? 
Or the recent Stanford grad that is more likely a culture fit (looks and sounds like the interviewer) with the grades but not the real world experience (yet)?
