The opposite in many areas where Craigslist has the bogus job postings, whereas the more expensive paper does not. Craigslist recently started charging for postings in many areas due to it having so many issues with fake postings.

And? At least they were kind enough to post this up front so they are not wasting people's time.

Nothing wrong with this, if it is in the TOS you can find it and see. As for discrimination, only if the company is of a certain size, and there is a bona fide reason for it, nothing wrong with it.
You have an example of one of these postings? I have seen "females encouraged to apply", but not "females only apply", except for modeling jobs or something.

Because they do not need specifically a black or white person. If they do, they will advertise as such. There will be a greater difference in needs between genders than race.

Who stated Craiglist is English only? And obviously if you cannot read the ad, you are not qualified for the job.

What is your industry? Or are you a dish washer or something?
Craigslist is a hit and miss depending on the area and job target. There are areas where it is worthless, and there are areas where it seems to be a good source. For some jobs it is worthless, for other jobs it is a good source.
