That's interesting and would help a bit, but its probably not going to help the man falsely accused of murder very much.
In the relationship case its basically pretty much impossible to legislate norms of behaviour in any reasonable period of time (it would be multi-generational if possible at all). For the job applications we all know hiring managers discriminate even when its against the law due to either their explicit or implicit biases. They can find very reasonable and legal explanations for rejection that they probably even sincerely believe themselves.
- hx87 10y agoI'm taking the long view of things, so I'm less interested in one particular man falsely accused of murder than falsely accused people in general. Multiple generations is indeed a reasonable period of time. Sure, social norms might change slowly, but that slow change is often the only way to fix the problem without breaking something else to an unacceptable extent. That being said, there is role for legislation--for example, there is a lot of research into implicit and explicit biases in human minds, and there could be more public funding on how to reverse these biases, and implement them as a standard part of the curriculum in public schools.
