Spot on. I wonder if daughters of Barrack Obama will get preferrential treatment as diversity hires. As women of color, they definitely should, according to many companies' policies.

What if that treatment is a necessary counter-weight to being taken less seriously?

If the children of a president want to work in your company, and they aren't scammers, crazy as a goat, or involved in criminal activity, of course that they should get preferential treatment. Not hiring them would be extremely stupid.

Their network of friends and knowledge of the government is not the kind of things that one can buy with money normally.
