I have absolutely no issue with the supervisor telling me that they will be offering the contract to the other two officials over me simply because one is a female and one is a minority. I totally understand that.
Official A is clearly a better official, and the supervisor and several of the top members of the current staff tellofficial A that this is abundantly clear. But the supervisor is going to hire B and C because one is female and one is a minority. This I have a problem with, and is the situation that I was in. No, I am not crying or whining...just stating what happened. As I said before, that supervisor no longer is a supervisor because she promoted officials who were not ready for that level.

That's a legit gripe and at least in your example, it worked itself out.
I also think that unfortunately this is an example of the "cost" that deecee asked about. And from many's perspective it is a cost that they have a particularly problem with.
But as BNR pointed out that cost is no steeper than that of the current or former status quo. And IMO it is a necessary cost to balance out the effects.
