  1. Here is one of the freedom fighters.
  2. That is the summary of the study. We perform a field experiment to measure racial discrimination in the labor market. We respond with fictitious resumes to help-wanted ads in Boston and Chicago newspapers. To manipulate perception of race, each resume is assigned either a very African American sounding name or a very White sounding name. The results show significant discrimination against African-American names: White names receive 50 percent more callbacks for interviews. We also find that race affects the benefits of a better resume. For White names, a higher quality resume elicits 30 percent more callbacks whereas for African Americans, it elicits a far smaller increase. Applicants living in better neighborhoods receive more callbacks but, interestingly, this effect does not differ by race. The amount of discrimination is uniform across occupations and industries. Federal contractors and employers who list “Equal Opportunity Employer” in their ad discriminate as much as other employers. We find little evidence that our results are driven by employers inferring something other than race, such as social class, from the names. These results suggest that racial discrimination is still a prominent feature of the labor market.
  3. Gave up gasoline, butter, sugar, rubber and dozen of other things. Didn't whine like spoiled children. - US citizens during both War World Have to wear a mask in public place. - Most spoiled and willfully ignorant nation in the history of the world.
  4. Nothing is my post was about Cheetos Jesus. It's just the reality of the situation. So you aren't going to wear a mask because you are a kid and they can't tell you what to do. But if it is mandated you won't be going into privates businesses or govt building. It is now required where I live and the bigger stores already have security there for the Karens like yourself.
  5. Again the study was about resumes that were the same except for the person name. Nothing about clubs or activism. Why you keep going back to your talking point, I don't know. I guess it's the easiest way to avoid talking about the study's results. Why does someone with a black name have to send out 15 resumes for a come back, when someone with a white name only have to send out 10 for a talk back.
  6. If you think you won't wear it when it become mandatory you won't get in any private businesses. No shirts, no shoes, no mask, no services. No matter how big your trantrump is.

  8. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-afghanistan-russia/russia-offered-afghan-militants-bounties-to-kill-u-s-troops-ny-times-idUSKBN23X2RT?il=0&utm_source=reddit.com WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. intelligence has concluded that the Russian military offered bounties to Taliban-linked militants in Afghanistan to kill American troops and other coalition forces, the New York Times reported on Friday. Citing officials briefed on the matter, the Times said the United States determined months ago that a Russian military intelligence unit linked to assassination attempts in Europe had offered rewards for successful attacks last year. Islamist militants, or armed criminal elements closely associated with them, are believed to have collected some bounty money, the newspaper said. The White House, the CIA and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence declined requests from Reuters for comment on the Times report. President Donald Trump has been briefed on the intelligence finding, the Times said. It said the White House has yet to authorize any steps against Russia in response to the bounties. Of the 20 Americans killed in combat in 2019, the Times said, it was not clear which deaths were under suspicion. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/01/donald-trump-vladimir-putin-g7-call Donald Trump has offered to invite Vladimir Putin to an expanded G7 meeting in September, but the invitation has already been adamantly opposed by the UK and Canada. According to a Kremlin account on Monday, the US president initiated the call, in which the two leaders talked about the coronavirus pandemic, oil prices and cooperation in space, as well as Trump’s postponement of a planned G7 summit at Camp David this month and the inclusion of other countries. “Donald Trump informed about his idea of holding a G7 summit with a possible invitation from the leaders of Russia, Australia, India and the Republic of Korea,” according to the Kremlin readout. There was no mention of the wave of unrest in US cities. Some hours later, the White House had not produced its own version of the conversation. Trump raised the possibility of inviting Russia on Saturday, after the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, had made clear she would not attend the Camp David summit. “I don’t feel that as a G7 it properly represents what’s going on in the world. It’s a very outdated group of countries,” Trump told reporters.
  9. No, posted a link that referenced multiple studies that show bias because of people's names. You cheery pick a small part of one study and used it to explain away all of the bias. There have been multiple studies that found the same bias. Yes it has been getting better, but you can't even admit there is a problem. Can you even admit there was a problem?
  10. You have been given the evidence and can't even see there is a problem. The only different in the resumes send out in this study is the person name. The resumes with with names like Emily and Greg vs Lakisha and Jamal. The Lakishas and Jamals had to send out 15 resumes for one callback. Compared to Greg and Emily who only had to send out 10 resumes for one callback. Again the only different in the resumes was the names. https://www.nber.org/papers/w9873.pdf https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2015/mar/15/jalen-ross/black-name-resume-50-percent-less-likely-get-respo/
  11. Sure, that is why people are being passed over the club is all inclusive. What about the study that only changed the person name?
  12. I don't see clubs that way. The studies I'm talking about is making their resume 'whiter' and has nothing to do with acting 'white'.
  13. Do I see someone membership in a "very specific racial club" as a negative? No, just another club. Pretty sure the Klan isn't a club in college anymore.
  14. I would hire the person I thought would do the job best.
  15. What I would do is a single data point. What happen on average is what we want to look at. The number seems to be moving in the right direction btw. The more recent studies have shown less bias.
  16. If you are interested there are multiple studies similar to this one, but with housing, how politicians response to requests for their constituents, selling an ipod, and even getting an appointment with primary physician. I found a paper that audited some of them. No I haven't read this, but it refences many other studies. https://sociologicalscience.com/download/vol-4/september/SocSci_v4_469to489.pdf
  17. I read it a couple of years ago. Do you have a problem with the methodology? Because all you have done so far bring up how it took you 3x to get your job.
  18. The Anecdotal Fallacy is committed when a recent memory, a striking anecdote, or a news story of an unusual event leads one to overestimate the probability of that type of event, especially when one has access to better evidence. In other words, the mistake is to allow the emotional effects of a vivid memory or story to outweigh stronger evidence, such as statistics, on the frequency of such events. Your anecdotal evidence < peer reviewed study
  19. https://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/minorities-who-whiten-job-resumes-get-more-interviews http://www-2.rotman.utoronto.ca/facbios/file/Whitening MS R2 Accepted.pdf In one study, the researchers created resumes for black and Asian applicants and sent them out for 1,600 entry-level jobs posted on job search websites in 16 metropolitan sections of the United States. Some of the resumes included information that clearly pointed out the applicants’ minority status, while others were whitened, or scrubbed of racial clues. The researchers then created email accounts and phone numbers for the applicants and observed how many were invited for interviews. Employer callbacks for resumes that were whitened fared much better in the application pile than those that included ethnic information, even though the qualifications listed were identical. Twenty-five percent of black candidates received callbacks from their whitened resumes, while only 10 percent got calls when they left ethnic details intact. Among Asians, 21 percent got calls if they used whitened resumes, whereas only 11.5 percent heard back if they sent resumes with racial references.
  20. Wow ABC and CBS have 24 news networks now. I must have missed them. Only the GOP's propaganda networks would cover a GOP talking point.
  21. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-bidens-polling-lead-is-different-from-clintons-in-2016/ First, Biden’s lead has clearly widened in the past month. He now leads by more than 9 points, but on May 25, Biden led by an average of only 5.8 points (48.9 percent to 43.1 percent). But some people have dismissed Biden’s lead by pointing out that Hillary Clinton also led in most polls of the 2016 election (Clinton, obviously, ended up losing to Trump). While this is true, Clinton’s lead was much smaller. Applying our current polling-average methodology to 2016 polls, Clinton led national polls by an average of about 4.0 points four months before the 2016 election, and 3.8 points on Election Day itself. So while a normal-sized polling error was enough to throw the 2016 election to Trump, it would take a much bigger — and much unlikelier — polling error for Trump to be ahead right now.
