Even Lebron James children have to deal with racism. Someone spray painted the n word on his house. Are poor people more disadvantaged? Obviously. But all else equal, being black or brown in this country means you face more adversity.
- jobs_throwaway 4y agoSo you're okay with Lebron's children being given advantages in hiring process over a poor white candidate?
- colinmhayes 4y agoI think it’s ok to factor race into the criteria that resumes are judged on because it affects the experiences those students have had and I do think thought diversity is valuable in and of itself. It’s a tricky situation obviously. But at the resume level all we're doing is using heuristics to decide who deserves an interview. Are white applicants with a 3.2 gpa more likely to be successful than black ones with a 3.1 gpa? I have no idea. I don't think you do either. Really the only way to find out is to hire some black applicants and compare them which might be what msft is doing.
- boppo1 4y ago>thought diversity And you believe this is a function of skin color?
- colinmhayes 4y agoYes I think cultural lines are commonly divided along skin color.
