This is horribly anecdotal, since asian-american managers actually tend to be less likely to hire other asians, out of fear of looking like they are practicing favoritism toward "their own."
And your bias is probably one reason for why they constantly feel so overly self-conscious about that as well
- ap22213 11y agoInteresting perspective. I had no idea that this was a concern. But, I can certainly relate. As someone who is often involved in hiring, I feel a similar pressure. I try very hard to be objective. But, in order to feel comfortable with my decisions, I (hopefully only slightly) err towards over-hiring minorities and women. Not that this presents much difficulty these days - it's hard enough to find qualified (and interested) candidates, in general.
