more isnt the problem. or its not the first problem.
>predictions suggested only 3% of black applicants would pass.
Thats not '3% of the applicants are black'. It's '3% of black applicants pass the test'
Starting there alone would yield meaningful results - at the end of the day, you gotta pass the test. Changing the test so more people pass is illogical and dangerous.
You offer more and better training for everyone. It's not the job of the organization itself to enable their success - just offer a fair test. Others, like the organization mentioned in this article, can and should focus on specific constituent representation. However, the goal of getting more of a specific group into an organization is NOT more important than the safety and efficacy of the organization.
