The problem is that there is an undue burden put on those in group 1 to prove they are not group 2.
Imagine an engineer walks into an interview. It's a young person, you think nothing of it and you go on with your normal interview. Now a different engineer walks in, and he has grey hair and some wrinkles. You feel the need to dig into whether they're in group 1 or group 2, in addition to your normal interview.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but if we were talking about how there are two groups of women and one of them is a liability a lot more people would be setting off alarms.
- Nasrudith 6y agoGiven the process of interviewing I think that burden is on anybody who attempts to go through the process of interviewing to a degree, young or old, male, female, or non-binary no matter the color or creed. A normal interview should dig through the qualities of 1 and 2 - although in practice many are downright insane powertripping prejudices that a stranger couldn't possibly know like filtering based upon if they follow arcane, arbitrary and archaic fashion "rules", or if they write a thank you letter afterwards.
