I might have thought this would come up due to this being the government 
we're dealing with.

Personally, I consider it condescending to land a contract on the basis of 
being a "minority" or "woman". 

Let every *individual* succeed on the basis of his or her merits alone. Not 
what's hanging between the legs and not what the dermal chromatics are.

Besides, I don't know how one *becomes* a "minority" or "woman" if one is not 
already. I suppose one can take the shoe polish or gender change approach! 
If you want the government contract that badly, GO FOR IT!
