I can name one.
I went to a panel interview a few years back and was passed up for a promotion. I found out a bit later that a Mexican woman, without a degree, with a third of the years worked, and only one job ever held within the company was given the position over me, who has a degree, has far more time in the company, and has rotated to several areas in the company and has a broad knowledge of everything that goes on. When I scheduled a meeting with my Division Mgr. to find out why, he asked me, "What two things do you and I have working against us?" The answer was, "We're white and we're male."
Fuck AA. I see it constantly. If I lose an employee and need to hire another, HR will blatantly hire by the numbers. I get told all the time, I need a female, or, you have enough males you need some females, etc. If I lose a male employee in an area of my operation that requires a lot of heavy lifting, etc.. I need another male to fill that position.
If employers are going to say they don't discriminate on the basis of "race, color, religion, sex or national origin" they need to adhere to it.
