Seeing how it's been proven that women do get this kind of bias in their favor, I wouldn't think twice if the same applied to race as well. Here's a link if you don't believe me:
I don't think that's what diversify means or how it's done. What makes you think that's the process? And, given American history, I think being a white man makes it easy for one to not care about his skin tone. It's the black man that has to think more about his skin tone since in our still unfortunately racist society, he/she sticks out like a thumb. Being white means you can easily blend in in regards to color. Makes it easier for interviewers to be more objective. Moreover, I think part of diversifying is being able to give woman and men of color the same opportunities that white men have. That means that you don't skip an application because of tge applicants name or that you show just as much interest in him or her as you will if a white man was in your office.
Of course. I'm also able to understand the differences between who is in power and isn't, historically and currently.
Not missing the point at all, but this is a necessary evil in the short term.
Should be, but that's not how it ends up working in the real world.
So to remove cultural bias we must institute cultural bias?
Or they desperately want the segregation that is pointing out skin color as some differing trait to die a horrible death, as well as racism in general. I know that's a hard concept to swallow. We're all flesh and blood. We're all human beings. It's time we start seeing each other as simply that ... human beings.
To that point times and perceptions change. Soon this 'diversity' thing will be the norm and looked back on as a silly discussion.
In the short term. Yes.
