It's interesting that you assume that white men are i) capable of doing the job ii) interested in doing the job and iii) are the best candidates for the job, while women and POC are probably i) less capable ii) less interested and iii) not the best candidates.
But you're oblivious to your bias.
- zzo38computer 8y agoI do not assume that; I only mention it as hypothetically the case, and then try to say that whether or not it is true on average (I think it probably isn't), it doesn't matter anyways due to the reasons I specified, because you should not hire someone based on their gender or skin (except perhaps if you are hiring a actor; but, if you are hiring a computer programming then it doesn't matter your gender/skin). (Sorry if I was being unclear.)
- faissaloo 8y agoIt's more so a case of the law of averages, white people are the majority of people in these countries after all.
- YUMad 8y agoIt's interesting that you assume he assumes exactly the things which conveniently let you do 'check your bias' dance.
