re: #21 Obdicut

I’d be fine with not considering ethnicity in admissions, or in hiring. That’d be great.

Unfortunately, the reality is that people are far less likely to hire a person with a black-sounding name.

So given that the reality is that people do consider race, institutionally trying to correct in the opposite direction is kludgy, but fair.

I hope they also use poverty as a filter, but I assume they do.

They’re allowed—but they’ve kind of worn it out.
