There's a simple fix to removing discrimination in hiring practices that no one seems to notice. Remove all demographic questions from the application. Hide the name and gender and attach a applicant ID. It's as easy as that. Every job should be looking for the most qualified individual regardless of race, nationality, religion, and sex. Demographics in the application are a recipe for disaster on both sides of the isle.

IT's not so simple. Eventually there will be an interview and the person scoring the interview may have some bias.

And as someone else points out, some schools like HBCU have names that carry racial coding.
