@Alexjusino @swisslet and in seven or eight centuries racism might just go away?

@theothersimo @Alexjusino I’m reminded of a story about the Viennese philharmonic orchestra. They had no women members, and swore this was because, in audition, female players just weren’t as good as men. They introduced auditions behind a screen, and lo and behold, quickly began recruiting female musicians. Affirmative action is needed because the playing field isn’t level. Far from it. If the vast majority of interns are white, it assuredly isn’t because white people are better qualified.
