There was a lot of racial speculation in this one - Trump's hired three white people. His third HAD to be a woman. His fourth HAD to be a minority. This was a racial thing, no doubt about it. Not that I personally care, but if you read some of the forums where this is a big part, racial makeup had a lot to do with this decision.
