In 2010, my two best graduate students at Harvard, both white males, could not get jobs in the U.S. One left for Germany, the other is now in Hong Kong and is one of the leading historians of his generation.

In 2020 I had a brilliant undergraduate in a tutorial who was literally the best student in his graduating class at Harvard (he won the prize 'for the student with the best academic record') who could not get into the graduate program of his choice. He left for Singapore.

I find this whole episode an obscene offense against the principle of merit.
