Jean,
It's like the old Marijuana Bob statement when facetiously asked if it was true that marijuana is illegal. Bob's reply was to the effect that if there was a cop leaning on the hood of your car while you fired up a bong sitting behind the driver's wheel, it's probably illegal. So the overt, in the open expression of discrimination is illegal. However, if one is rejected as "unqualified" that's a different story. That one works on both sides of the aisle, and yes there is somewhat of a double standard at play in this realm. There are a bazillion legitimate reasons and unfounded rationalizations to not hire or to terminate employment. You have much less of a chance of getting in trouble for what you don't say: "We're not hiring you" or "we don't need you any more" suffices because California is an at will employment state. Anything more is lawsuit fodder.
