they should use a much better predictor of disadvantage than skin color
What would you suggest? All methods of trying to measure "disadvantage-ness" will be flawed (including race/ethnicity ones). I mentioned this in this comment http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4758649 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4758649
- ta12121 14y agoYes, they will all be flawed, but not all of them will be as flawed as skin color. Just because something is hard, doesn't mean it's OK to do something easy and bad.
- rmc 14y agoWhat makes you think skin colour is the worst possible method? Surely flipping a coin is much worse? Or requiring that applications are written in joined-up-writing/cursive? There are plenty of worse methods.
- ta12121 14y agoI never said it was the worst. I just said there are others that are better. Please.
