re: #10 GatorsEatsTaters

Black people make up 10% of the population of the USA. So if 10 women come into an interview lets assume 1 is black and the rest are other races. The person doing the hiring has to pick the best candidate, so the black woman has not just one other person to compete with, but 9 others. So the fact that black women do not make the positions as much is simply based on math.

I don’t even know what to do with this. Obviously, what I’m saying, and what the study shows, is that, taking into account their representation in the population, black women are hired less often than white women.

You didn’t read it, did you?
