This is silly, obviously, if I'm hiring somebody, I discriminate the others.

- omginternets 10y agoYou say this in jest, but you bring up a good point: the term "discrimination" has become loaded. The question isn't whether or not there's discrimination. It's about whether said discrimination is unfair or unethical. Racial discrimination is generally considered unethical and unfair. But, simply observing a statistical bias doesn't mean that the discrimination took place on the basis of race. It is, in principle, possible for qualified candidates to be unevenly distributed.
