That is one (allegedly) dumb recruiter.

I know someone who tried to apply to a position at a large tech company and could not complete their initial forms; this person has a master's degree from a top-25 university, is soon to have a Ph.D., has studied at the London School of Economics... but left high school early to go straight to college. Date of high-school graduation was a mandatory field in their online form, and nobody at the company could come up with a way to bypass the use of that form (and entering false information, of course, is not permitted). This person may literally have to go back and get a GED after obtaining a Ph.D. in order to be able to fill out a job application.
Yeah, that's a big red flag. Sounds like the system is programming the people.
Welcome to big tech companies.
Graduation is when you are certified by the school as completing graduation requirements, and usually issued a diploma attesting to that fact. Leaving without doing so, even for higher education that doesn't require a high school diploma, is not graduation.
Given the alarming cognitive deficits as they are routinely observed to have.
Just last week we had the CFO complain that the kept being notified about something despite having clicked on the button that "makes it go away". The button was grayed out and disabled. They didn't seem worried that the were unable to perform their job duty, just that they couldn't get rid of the reminder.
Protected classes are attributes that you can't discriminate against. Being black doesn't make you in a protected class, ethnicity is a protected class.
My point was that the recruiter could not make it any more obvious that they are discriminating.
One of the first things I learned about interviewing is that you just don't ask questions related to protected classes, because you could not possibly benefit from getting the answer. How could someone whose entire job is about hiring not know this?
