This can, does, and should happen. If you don't want to hire a
Christian secretary, you can do this. If you don't want to hire an
asian secretary, you can't because it is physically immutable and beyond
the individual's control. If you don't want to hire a secretary because
of her "Black Power" viewpoint, you are perfectly allowable to do so.
