- Gigachad 4y agoThat is discrimination though. Any use of that info at all for hiring decisions is discrimination.
- ithkuil 4y ago"discriminate* has two meanings: * recognize a distinction; differentiate. (Discriminate between) * make an unjust or prejudicial distinction in the treatment of different categories of people. (Discriminate against) I meant they current trend is to do the former in order to offset historical use of the latter. Whether that's fair or whether that will work long term is another question!
- Ferret7446 4y agoYou forgot "discriminate in favor of" in your second point and incorrectly attributed the current trend to the first point, although perhaps you're seeing a different trend than me.
- ithkuil 4y agoNo perhaps I wasn't clear. the current trend is clearly "discriminate in favour in order to offset the discrimination against" "Discriminate as differentiate" was a response to the comment I was replying to who said that "using any information means you'd be discriminating". Well, sure that's technically true but it's missing the point
