This paper is a prime example of not accounting for Simpson's paradox: "These numbers suggest that women and White applicants are proportionally more likely to get hired compared to their counterparts." No, you haven't given us the men/women breakdown by ethnicity. It may actually be that there is an over-representation of women in the white category compared to other ethnicities, and therefore the bias towards hiring females carries with it a bias towards hiring white. However it's possible that if you compare ethnicities separately between men and women you might find no racial discimination exists. (and vice versa for ethnicity vs gender). The fact that they don't show these breakdowns is a major weakness of this study. Or strength. Depending on whether the desired metric is scientific correctness, or political marketability.
