The application said they prefer certain races and genders to apply for the position. For the sake of having a chance at an interview, I wrote that I was a race that I actually am not. However, I didn't say I was a woman, even though they prefer women to apply.

During the screening interview, I admitted I wasn't the race I wrote on the application. This seemed to put off the interviewer, as the rest of the interview felt much more awkward than it had started out.

I don't understand how a big company like this can openly discriminate against people based on sex and race and get away with it.
