  If we are talking about basic reasoning, you know that doesn't mean there is not a major problem of discrimination at this end of the pipeline.

    I know there is discrimination at the end of the pipeline, there has been for a few years now, but it isn't in the direction that you think its in, and it isn't relevant to who is winning a once a year award that is based on work someone started 40+ years ago.

      > it isn't in the direction that you think its in It is exactly in that direction; just look at the outcomes. You take the long-term standard, where white (and Asian) males get advantages, and normalize it - norms are unremarkable, the null hypothesis. Changing the norm then looks like discrimination.
