[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Economics.   So I looked at the underlying study.   Apparently it wasn't a Harvard study!
To actual study does discuss some of the issue I brought up but doesn't attempt to test between the alternatives.  For example, is deracifying actually depoliticizing?  This could have been tested by including information on white applicants.  Is there a distinction between "whitening" and neutralizing?  One can't tell using the experimental design.
As far as companies spouting a commitment to diversity not following it in practice, I certainly believe that.
I am sort of sensitive to this issue because I once got an interview based on my incorrectly inferred race based on my last name.  Upon meeting me in person, the interview quickly ended.[/quote]
The only way you could "neutralize" is to have every applicant have an ID number, and the interviewer only sees  the number, not the names or faces, and the applicants  type out their responses to interview questions.[/quote]
