[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP's failures: 
- To determine who was the lead author.  Does not rise to level of racism, but is a serious professional failing. 
- In the absence of knowing who the lead author was (ie she should have at least assumed they were equal co-authors), failing to give them equal space in the article. There's a reasonable inference to be made that OP gave the man more time because of unconscious gender or racial bias. [/quote]

Not sure I agree. Being Lead author is a huge deal in academia; it's the two authors who should have made that clear from the start.

If nothing has been shared, you typically assume it's the oldest person, because s/he has had more years to write and publish papers.

I'd assume "ageism" before gender or racial bias.[/quote]

I would assume ageism only if the people were of the same race and gender. Misogyny in higher Ed is rampant, and anti-Asian bias perhaps moreso. Ageism is less the concern that that very specific environment.[/quote]
