A lot of what you say really requires some evidence. For example: > a purely anonymous system is going to end up with hiring tons of young white males- A system that's non anonymous has already proven itself to hire a ton of young white males... > surely fewer than a company that actively discriminates against other groups, but noticibly more than a company that is actively looking for diversity- Citations needed. > A company might specifically find value in "we don't just want the world's best engineers: we want a diverse set of backgrounds and viewpoints", Discrimination isn't good, period. That means discriminating for or against white males. Also, you imply that the groups I mentioned couldn't succeed on their own merit. Overall, you basically encourage discrimination. Got it.
