Applying for a job that I don't meet the minimum requirements for feels like somewhere between “fraud” and “stupidity”. They're literally called “minimum requirements”.

On the other hand, it looks much better to call it "minimum requirements" than "fake reasons to refuse people we don't like".

Exactly. When they create fake requirements the goal is exactly to weed out anyone they don't like. Because if they find someone of the "right" group they'll give the job anyway even if the requirements aren't met.

Well, you're in good company, because describing them as "minimum requirements" when they clearly aren't also feels like somewhere between fraud and stupidity.
