If there's a big discussion about underqualified lovers of brainteasers being hired, and my coworkers start to look at me suspiciously, I can simply stop wearing my "I love brainteasers" tee shirt. Underrepresented minorities don't have that option.
If we would like to stop using an irrelevant but unchangeable trait (such as gender or race) as a basis for hiring and recruiting, what should we do?
