The other bias that shows up is the different requirements portrayed to people based on their race. There was a recent article about how this was done in Lousiana to keep an apartment community predominantly white.

I see my company pulling a similar stunt. Employees are strictly hired through a recruiting firm and only after passing the interview do we bother to have them actually submit an actual application where the gender & ethnicity stats are collected. I suppose this enables us to be able to say, "we have hired 100% of all black/hispanic/asian/etc people that have ever applied to our corporation. There is no way that we are racist at all. We can't help it that 99.9999% of applicants ever, were white."
