No because the would be competency based. If we need a senior Go programmer and the candidate is only experienced in Python it makes sense to pass.

Interviewing someone who is male and getting told that we can't hire them because they are male is gender-based discrimination.

"Due to the current economic situation we don't have new headcount for our org however feel free to reach out if you have a diverse candidate that would be interested in joining"

From a director during a all-hands.

"We have already selected a male candidate for the internship so it'd be best if the next one was a woman"

From my manager's manager.

"Your no-hire vote should have more justification since the candidate is a woman"

The reality is that we need a strong legal ruling against these type of things otherwise it is simply too "problematic" to bring this up and the risk for retaliation is insanely high.
