Oh, just I’d love for an actual study to be done in the US of biases, against, for example, uneducated people, people from Appalachia, blacks who speak non-standard English, non-English speakers, etc.

YOu can’t get away from a certain amount of systemic bias, of course, but it’d be good to know where we stand.

Oh, have I shown you this?
