- Women say they quite because of racial discrimination: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/aug/18/women-google-memo-racism-sexism-discrimination-quit - If a child says he quit because he was never nominated to the Olympic Chess championship or if a handicapped person says he was not nominated to the triathlon championships - was it because they were not yet there or because there was a discrimination? This seems to be a highly emotional issue.
