It is all true, yet none of this helps someone who is now 50 and has been discriminated for 30 years of an academic career. Like I say, I'm definitely not a fan of 'background-adjusting' academic achievement, equally if I were that discriminated person, told yet again "sorry, but mr White Man has a better track record of being awarded jobs by white men", I'd be livid. For record, I am a white man. I don't know what the right balance is, but I won't dismiss out of hand making some kind of adjustment. It's not that different to looking at academic grades, one coming from a lenient market, and one from a harsh one.
