Completely agreed. That being said, efforts to address this problem have actually resulted in more racist practices in hiring. [0] When the question on a job application asking if you'd been convicted of a crime was banned, employers discriminated based on race - using this as a proxy to guess which job applicants had a criminal background. This study found that people with a felony conviction and a "rehabilitation certificate" were just as likely to get a call back for a job interview as people with no conviction at all. This suggests that employers are willing to give people a second chance if their risk in doing so is (perceived to be) low.
