I bet alot of lingering racial inequality is tied to the mental shortcuts that are so easily defeated by using objective tests in hiring and admissions. When I graduate and am in a position to hire people, I will be using objective criteria before I do an interview, and then again when I interview potential employees. I cannot help but have unconscious preference for my own physical attributes if I do otherwise. I will be doing this without ever having been contacted by the NAACP. I learned to do so in my survey industrial psychology class. Where will others get this message?
