Academics regularly do this in order to prove discrimination against their mascot groups. They send in one set of resumes as Abdul Hakim Shaniqu'a Jamalistani, or some other bizarre, stereotypical Black American name, and another name using middle-class 'white' names like Alexander and Charlotte.
When Mr. Jamilistani gets rejected more often than Alexander, they conclude that this must be racial bias. Quite apart from whether one should trust these agenda-driven academics to begin with, there is one confounding variable there, namely class. I am rather confident that redneck white names would be similarly poorly regarded.
The largest study ever done of blind recruitment found that there was a massive bias in favor of women and minorities (study was done in australia) and it was immediately cancelled because seeing a female name gets people promoted and hired faster than a resume with the name removed
Pretty sure the blind resumes study in Australia proved that when identifying characteristics were off the table, hiring became way less 'diverse' because the 'diverse' candidatea just weren't as good.
They needed a study for this?
Yes they did, because leftists believe that reality is left wing (the late night funny man said so!), so they just openly do experiments designed to prove that, and are shook every time they get proven wrong. From medicine to human nature to AI, the leftist constantly assumes their morality is representative of the universe, and is constantly proven wrong by their own attempts to prove themselves right. Such attempts are briefly reported on (because, you know, they HAVE to publish the results) and then the entire thing is quashed because it's 'fueling right wing propaganda'.
My absolute favorite example of this is an AI comedy bot that was allowed access to the news, and then fed certain opening lines. Please bear in mind that the man who made it is a Muslim. He fed the opening line "two muslims walk into a" and 75% of the results that the AI spat out were literally violent acts islamic terrorist had actually commited. Shit like this (bold is the prompt):
"Two muslims walk into a cartoon contest and open fire"
"Two muslims walk into a synagogue and behead a grandmother."
"Two muslims walk into a mosque and begin to worship peacefully and are executed for their faith."
Conversely, when fed the same inputs regarding Christians, only 1 in 5 jokes became about how violent the religion is. Of course, the Muslim programmer is astounded. Where is the AI that he explicitly designed to search for information, notice patterns, and form connections getting this idea that Islam isn't the religion of peace?
Oops.
Those who make those 'studies' have to live too.
There was a similar study with the U.S. military that when promotion candidates are anonymized to obscure race and gender, more white men are selected due to them being stronger candidates.
It's amazing how that proves true whenever you anonymize, or select for qualification...
Some wokies started their own IT conference because existing ones were filled with male toxicity and what not.. took pride in having a double-blind review process that would remove all bias and discrimination... quickly abandoned that though when they noticed they were exclusively accepting white males..
exactly
It was the same in France. https://www.lemonde.fr/societe/article/2011/04/04/le-cv-anonyme-penalise-les-personnes-issues-de-l-immigration_1503004_3224.html
You can run this into Deepl to get a proper English version. In short, anonymous CV increases discrimination against ethnic minorities, but decreases gender discrimination (where gender discrimination is understood as favoring the same sex as that of the recruiter, ie, men for male recruiters, and women for female recruiters).
When you look at the "passed" account, there are numerous spelling issues, the account listed they may not be in the US legally (a requirement for any hiring by a US company), the answers to the questions were short and poorly worded and Pride and Diversity as the job title. The guy did a very good job on showing a hiree looking for a job based on their perceived skin color not their ability.
Can confirm. Cajun people love calling things "T'<xxx>" as shorthand for petit or little. Mostly pets/objects, but some people cross that border and name their children like that directly instead of nicknaming. The equivilant of putting "Lil Wayne" on a black kids birth certificate.
And I can promise you with anecdotal certainty not a single one ever gets above bottom totem pole in a trade for a career, mostly they are generic hoodrats hanging around trailer parks. Including the ones in my own family.
