How do you get rid of unconscious bias? I am assuming this wasn't malicious and they don't have a 'no foreign sounding names' qualification that they are filtering by, but our brain is a pattern matching machine and if an industry has an overwhelming number of one race/gender/orientation/whatever won't the brain just naturally bias towards that? Even though individuals say they would never be biased, the subconscious element of it seems inevitable.
