Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 says:
(a) It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer--
(1) to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or
otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his
compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of
such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; or
(2) to limit, segregate, or classify his employees or applicants
for employment in any way which would deprive or tend to deprive any
individual of employment opportunities or otherwise adversely affect his
status as an employee, because of such individual's race, color, religion,
sex, or national origin.

The successful fellowship candidate will:
* Be a minority as defined by tpt. Minority is defined as a person of color, GLBT, a person with a disability, or any other designation determined by tpt that reflects diversity;
Well, at least their standards aren't arbitrary or capricious. Apparently to tpt, defining minorities is like defining pornography: they know them when they see them.
