Continuing the analogy, if it was originally 60-40 men-women, and the allegation is correct that only women are allowed to appeal their results, that's more like tipping the balance 40-60, which is a negative outcome for men. Allowing both genders to appeal their results would be a more balanced 50-50.

- hueving 11y agoThose are the interned. I'm talking about how Japanese were treated afterwards. We don't give hiring preference to them and don't accuse companies without enough Japanese employees of racism. Try again.
