How is that in any way a sound analogy? Your age likely has an impact on your experience. More experience doesn't necessarily mean you're better at your job but it's a decent possibility. Race has no impact on performance at all.
- golergka 11y agoRace does not impact perfomance, but there's a correlation between race and education, for example (because ages of institutial discrimination, of course). Do you think people should take this correlation into consideration when talking about others?
- rhizome 11y agoI highly recommend double-checking your work on this line of thinking.
- bduerst 11y agoThey're pointing out the flaws in the logic of biasing based on characteristics, of both race and age. Obviously nobody is going to discount a manager because of their race, but on that same coin people shouldn't discount the same individual because of their age.
