The study shows discrimination based on a black sounding name which shows why affirmative action is needed.
Affirmative action makes the situation worse because it creates a very rational inference that the product is less than advertised.
“Most people would expect that if you could overcome social disadvantages and make it to Harvard against all odds, you’d be pretty set no matter what, but this experiment finds that there are still gaps,” said S. Michael Gaddis, the author of the paper and the Robert Wood Foundation Scholar in Health Policy at the University of Michigan. “Once you get out, you still have to deal with other human beings who have preconceived notions and misguided stereotypes about why you were able to go to this college.” ______________________ What's misguided when you know their average test scores were too low for admission without a racial preference? There's nothing misguided about that notion.
Yes,even black ivy league grads have to deal with with racists like you in this country which is why affirmative action is needed and why I support it.
