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.

I agree with you that I wouldn't be happy. But I'm sure you realize there are folks out there who will say the exact same thing happened to them multiple times based on a certain demographic quality, but it wasn't out in the open. Those are the folks, who while they agree you were wronged, they are not up in arms about it b/c it has been a fact of life to them for years or decades.
