I think a lot of white people created the idea of how POC are treated in their mind and just go with it as fact. This is over the course of a few decades and is enriched in the many myths of the us. I've had this argument with many people and even if we agreed the candidates were equal, they still didn't accept picking the POC person(most likely Black) was anything but discrimination. I really don't get why but you're right that no company will hire someone that's unqualified just because they have a quota. Ask them back if both were equally qualified but one was an underrepresented gender or disabled would they still feel the same?
Thanks comrade. I really find the discussion draining and exhausting, especially coming from someone who I love a lot. I understand now when people say you have to work twice as hard as your white counterparts as a woman or POC to be recognised.
Your argument was fine.
