| >>> The bias might be unconscious, but the tendency to avoid hiring people from a certain group is entirely conscious That statement doesn't make sense. Avoiding to hire people from a certain group is bias by definition. How can it be unconscious and conscious at the same time? >>> It's 2016. That excuse -the whole "it's society's fault"- died sometime last century What are you talking about, there's absolutely a cultural and societal element here. >>> those of use who care about that sort of thing anyway Oh get off your high horse. Some of us just don't recommend breaking the law to fix this. Your solution to tech diversity is overly simplistic and unhelpful. Not to mention sexist and ILLEGAL. At best, it would solve equality of outcome, but not equality of opportunity. Women might still be discriminated against during interviews, but "that's OK because we filled our quota for this year" ?! How is that fixing the problem? Just curious, would you ask other industries to do the same and implement these quota requirements? Would you impose that sewage workers reach 50% gender parity? |
