Pretty ignorant response, but the whole "what if X was the most qualified for the position" is one of my most hated statements. It's an element that cannot realistically be measured for accuracy, and all it does is deflect blame without actually engaging the true issue at hand. I'll just say this. White males are overrepresented in a lot of areas, and by direct relation, female and minorities or minority females are severely underrepresented. So either white males are truly the right people for the job the overwhelming majority of the time, or there's some other things at play.
