Completely invalid analogy. Discriminating on the basis of ethnicity is illegal. Discriminating on the basis of age, generally speaking, is not.
Plus, to make it a a little closer to not being invalid, the job she's looking for is a role in a movie, remember. And let's say she
looks caucasian, but the character is black.
Regardless of what analogy you might imagine you've come up with, the discrimination she faces is
not illegal, and her actions were intended to deceive potential employers. Now, of course, that's par for the course in Hollywood, on both sides, but so is digging out the deception. She knew that.
