  Chapter 4 (pp. 44-) is a good place to start, particularly "UNCOVERING BIAS BY USING FICTITIOUS RESUMES" (p. 47).

    Another study found that anonymizing resumes actually hurt minority candidates. [1] This is because the companies were trying hard to help people with minority sounding names and no longer could. Anonymizing seems like an appropriate way to handle layoffs as well. It may be hard to do because some managers know the people involved. But they could force all decisions to be justified and externally reviewed by others who don't know the demographics. No one would have had a problem if they described a rigorous process of anonymizing the layoff decisions. It swings the pendulum too far to go full on anti-racist. Others point out it's also illegal. 1: https://www.povertyactionlab.org/case-study/unintended-effects-anonymous-resumes https://www.povertyactionlab.org/case-study/unintended-effec...

      "Anti-racist" to me simply means "against racism; actively ensuring racism doesn't occur". Maybe it means something different in the US. The idea of a company trying hard to "help people with minority sounding names" sounds pretty absurd to me.
