Since your response is to call me a liar, I won’t dignify the rest of your comment with a thoughtful reply.

I didnt call you a liar, I am claiming that people are not always truthful to themselves. Purposeful ignorance is an easy out.

For example, you made a factually incorrect claim about blind hiring, and its considerably easier to ignore that since addressing it devastates your larger point.

    He told you something he personally did/witnessed, and you replied with "not true." I'm not sure how else he should have interpreted that.

      I think he truly believes it, but given the totality of his post it's very likely wrong. I'm not saying he is lying or a liar.

      Again:

      > blind reviews where you can’t see the name or details of the applicant (to minimise subconscious bias).

      Its been shown that doing so _increases_ the amount of non-minority candidates selected, not the other way around.
