I mean it's human nature. Much like how most CEOs of Fortune 500s are over 6ft tall (https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/2d8jwd/til_that_58_of_ceos_of_fortune_500_companies_are/ https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/2d8jwd/til_t...), youre not going to correct for this. If the decider doesnt have many data points, they're going to find points to support their hunch. This person works out super hard, the did a marathon, super good at chess, being hot will open some doors, anything goes. The reality is most of the deals are made through friendly intros, and vet you for a certain lingo and overall fitness to be fundable. Good luck correcting this culture. Are you going to evaluate the deals you missed, and go "eh to be fair the guy was a slob and came from a no name school, and we under estimated grit / timing"?. It's not like the data that shows youre bad at data driven evaluation is going to sway someone who isn't data minded.

  There is a long list of biases at play for sure. But I think beyond ideas like structural racism and such, we can look at just how decision making is done and see this isnt solvable

    so why do they demand loyalty from East-Asian Americans? you discriminate against them and expect them to die for your country how can any individual remain loyal to a country that hates them and constantly sabotages and oppresses them using other groups?

      Interesting that you type these words while creating a new account username with a hugely derogatory phrase used to insult Indians/South Asians A word just like nig*er is to Black people. Why do you hate South Asians/Indians so much if you’re interested in talking about East Asian rights and challenges?

    I mean, since this happens on such a grand scale and is “uncorrectable” doesn’t that introduce permanent arbitrage into the market?

    Even if it is true that it is not a solvable problem, striving toward an unattainable perfection is still a worthy goal.

  But why are so many South Asian if they are so rarely East Asian?
