"Races" aren't qualified for anything. Neither are star signs or favorite Hogwarts houses.

Individuals are qualified or unqualified. If a company happens to end up with less than 1/4 Ravenclaws or not very many Virgos, it doesn't mean hate is a reason. It could be that the Ravenclaws that applied were a bit less qualified than those from the other houses.

I guess my point is, doing the statistical analysis for race and gender and drawing conclusions, while being completely blind to the one single factor any sane hiring manager should be focusing on -- actual qualifications for the role -- doesn't make any sense.

It could make sense if one was looking to make interventions early on before the candidates reach the selection process.

Don't claim AI is discriminating against non–selects, though.

I doubt companies are using Gr*k to make their hiring decisions.
