As with all of these types of posts there are those who complain about how women (or insert any protected class) have unfair advantages. They seem to see the world as a zero sum. If anyone class has an advantage, the other class will be disadvantaged.

The proposed solution is usually to do a blind audition. If you don't know anything about the candidate there is no discrimination. However this seems to have a major flaw. How do you account for all of the disadvantages that occurred before or might occur after the blind audition?

You strive to eliminate bias everywhere. Putting your thumb on the scale during the audition portion because there may have discrimination before does not make sense.

I get that it would be impossible to solve all forms of discrimination everywhere. I think my fundamental question is can you solve the problem of systemic discrimination, by ignoring it? My problem with the blind audition is you are fixing a local problem and in turn ignoring the global problem.

It seems that corporations and governments are trying to solve the global problem (lack of diversity due to discrimination) which then in turn causes local problems (reverse discrimination).
