I'm sorry, excuse me? Are you saying that non-minority, non-women don't suffer anxiety? Your parent comment certainly seems to suggest that. Which, at a minimum, is flat out wrong. Educate yourself[0]. And then zoom out and ask yourself why it's not only permissible, but often lauded, to so flippantly say what you just said.

To be fair, OP did say "That effect is magnified for anyone who is unlike their interviewers" But, I do agree some evidence from OP would help their claims. I wouldn't be surprised if minorities experience more anxiety, on average, in situations like an interview, though. I think it's established that imposter syndrome is more frequently encountered for example but it's too late here to go digging for evidence :)

- MiroF 6y agoGood faith reader here, can confirm - you pretty clearly were only suggesting some general effect applying on average, not to every individual case.
- oblio 6y agoYou just "All Lives Matter"ed his "Black Lives Matter" argument. And I'm not writing this as praise for your comment...
- pb7 6y agoStop dehumanizing an entire group of people. All humans feel anxiety and that's a fact. Excluding one group of people that is equally likely to experience it because it's currently in vogue is still discriminatory.
