But you don’t want discrimination hypotheses to be discussed either? I guess that could be an acceptable compromise, to not debate the causes of disparities but at the same time focus on improving diversity in recruitment.
Yeah. I’m also in favor of trying to grab low-hanging fruit from addressing discrimination, as long as we don’t get overzealous. But in terms of trying to make our demographics completely representative… there are already a lot of groups trying and failing to do that, sometimes in a way that crashes & burns spectacularly, so I would rather hang back and wait for a model that seems workable/reliable before aiming that high.
