Since 1989, whites receive on average 36% more callbacks than African Americans, and 24% more callbacks than Latinos. We observe no change in the level of hiring discrimination against African Americans over the past 25 years, although we find modest evidence of a decline in discrimination against Latinos. Accounting for applicant education, applicant gender, study method, occupational groups, and local labor market conditions does little to alter this result. Contrary to claims of declining discrimination in American society, our estimates suggest that levels of discrimination remain largely unchanged, at least at the point of hire.

...

Do we find evidence of change over time in rates of hiring discrimination? With respect to African Americans, the answer is no. Fig. 1 plots estimates of discrimination by year, with linear trends of best fit and 95% confidence regions (detailed estimates are in SI Appendix, section 3 and Table S3; in Fig. 1, we exponentiate predictions to present predicted values as discrimination ratios rather than less interpretable log discrimination ratios). The solid line captures the trend since 1990. The dashed line extends this time trend back to 1972, adding four resume audits conducted from 1972 to 1980. The size of the symbol is proportional to the weight it is given in the meta-analysis. The line of best fit for studies since 1990 is close to flat, sloping slightly upward, suggesting no change in the rate of discrimination over the past 25 years.

Surveys indicated that whites increasingly endorsed the principle of equal treatment regardless of race (4). Rates of high school graduation for whites and African Americans converged substantially, and the black–white test score gap declined (5, 6). Large companies increasingly recognized diversity as a goal and revamped their hiring to curtail practices that disadvantaged minority applicants (7). With the election of the country’s first African-American president in 2008, many concluded that the country had finally moved beyond its troubled racial past (8).

Yeah. That's why they were surprised to find that racial discrimination in hiring hadn't decreased over time.

cccp?

bad luck. Sir. I have told you 100x I am not arguing stats. I can attack each instance one at a time if you like. It has to do with applications and income and not stats. My goodness. It is like talking to a wall. Again.

I WILL NOT ARGUE STATS. Because stats can be deceiving.

I also state that there are racist people, including racist police officers and racist landlords but not ALL police officers are racist and not ALL landlords are racist.

Do you understand this post? See if you can answer in a one word answer "Yes" or "No"

I bet you can't.

I only spew insults at tangplay. Who says he wants to eliminate the electoral college and at bad luck sometimes, who called Ben Shapiro a white supremacist and wants to tax millionaires at 99%. He btw also called tangplay an idiot.

I don't insult anyone else.

You won't argue the stats because the stats prove you are wrong. There is nothing deceiving about a peer reviewed study showing that blacks still face employment discrimination.

LMAO --- I knew you could not give a one word answer.

Then the stats show the NBA and NFL are racist. Those stats are misleading. My dad and I used to own properties. There is a plethora of data that has to be reviewed before renting. Most significantly:

• Employment
• Compensation
• References

It has to do with comp. first and foremost followed by references. We can discuss each case individually if you like but stats show that whites are wealthier. That is not shocking. And I have explained to you that this delta is shrinking. Don't tell me what stats show, you are smart guy (compared to tangplay) you understand that stats can be misleading.

Jews by far are the wealthiest segment in the US. Does that mean I have Jewish privilege? Stats are misleading and you know this and that is why you hang your hat on them.

And you also can't read. I asked for a one word answer.

That's called context, smart guy. Professional sports have quantifiable skills that make separation of the best players relatively easy. Middle management jobs do not.

The study I linked was about employment, not housing. Blacks with equal resumes were less likely to be called back for jobs. It's a peer reviewed study published by the National Academy of Sciences. We can conclusively say that whites are privileged when it comes to employment.

My guess as to what cccp meant was that data is too often nothing more than propaganda. There are a thousand ways (and I mean that literally) to manipulate statistics. Academia and think tanks on both sides of the political divide, too frequently nowadays, write conclusions prior to the thesis, with the "researcher" simply looking for stats to support their particular agenda. Arguing stats, when a substantial portion of "research" has been politically weaponized, is futile and silly.

Again, I need to see the data behind the stats, which companies participated, etc. Pro sports do have quantifiable skills yet people scream that Kap doesn't have a job? You have to take every case on its own. Maybe those candidates were not as qualified? Is that possible? Do you honestly believe a company, whose primary purpose is to increase shareholder value would higher a lesser candidate due to race? It is certainly possible but it is also stupid and those companies will not fare as well as those who hire the best candidates regardless of race or gender. So long term capitalism will punish those companies.

I am not arguing that there aren't racist people but I am arguing that there are not racist institutions aka they promote (let's only hire whites).

Bunch? One stat. And I think we can logically agree that two parents are probably better than one when raising kids. LOL. Do you honestly disagree with this? You don't think a single person who has a kid at 18 is at a disadvantage than a married couple who have a kid at 27? Come on man.

Since 1989, whites receive on average 36% more callbacks than African Americans, and 24% more callbacks than Latinos. We observe no change in the level of hiring discrimination against African Americans over the past 25 years, although we find modest evidence of a decline in discrimination against Latinos. Accounting for applicant education, applicant gender, study method, occupational groups, and local labor market conditions does little to alter this result. Contrary to claims of declining discrimination in American society, our estimates suggest that levels of discrimination remain largely unchanged, at least at the point of hire.

...

Do we find evidence of change over time in rates of hiring discrimination? With respect to African Americans, the answer is no. Fig. 1 plots estimates of discrimination by year, with linear trends of best fit and 95% confidence regions (detailed estimates are in SI Appendix, section 3 and Table S3; in Fig. 1, we exponentiate predictions to present predicted values as discrimination ratios rather than less interpretable log discrimination ratios). The solid line captures the trend since 1990. The dashed line extends this time trend back to 1972, adding four resume audits conducted from 1972 to 1980. The size of the symbol is proportional to the weight it is given in the meta-analysis. The line of best fit for studies since 1990 is close to flat, sloping slightly upward, suggesting no change in the rate of discrimination over the past 25 years.

Surveys indicated that whites increasingly endorsed the principle of equal treatment regardless of race (4). Rates of high school graduation for whites and African Americans converged substantially, and the black–white test score gap declined (5, 6). Large companies increasingly recognized diversity as a goal and revamped their hiring to curtail practices that disadvantaged minority applicants (7). With the election of the country’s first African-American president in 2008, many concluded that the country had finally moved beyond its troubled racial past (8).

Yeah. That's why they were surprised to find that racial discrimination in hiring hadn't decreased over time.

cccp?

bad luck. Sir. I have told you 100x I am not arguing stats. I can attack each instance one at a time if you like. It has to do with applications and income and not stats. My goodness. It is like talking to a wall. Again.

I WILL NOT ARGUE STATS. Because stats can be deceiving.

I also state that there are racist people, including racist police officers and racist landlords but not ALL police officers are racist and not ALL landlords are racist.

Do you understand this post? See if you can answer in a one word answer "Yes" or "No"

I bet you can't.

You won't argue the stats because the stats prove you are wrong. There is nothing deceiving about a peer reviewed study showing that blacks still face employment discrimination.

My guess as to what cccp meant was that data is too often nothing more than propaganda. There are a thousand ways (and I mean that literally) to manipulate statistics. Academia and think tanks on both sides of the political divide, too frequently nowadays, write conclusions prior to the thesis, with the "researcher" simply looking for stats to support their particular agenda. Arguing stats, when a substantial portion of "research" has been politically weaponized, is futile and silly.

^^^^^This^^^^^

Thank you, sir. The NBA is quantifiable because we see the product. We don't see the product behind the research that bad luck posted.

You can literally click the links and see all of the research. It's a peer reviewed study. Go for it.

Really? They give specific names and compare resumes, colleges, etc.?

Come on. Stop this nonsense.

Peer review means nothing. It is a relic from a time when people were tolerant of dissenting points of view and were genuinely interested in pure research, interested in discovering truths without forming strong opinions prior to conducting the experiment. It is from a time when the scientific method was, as much as it could be applied, still in play for the soft sciences. That time has come and gone.

If a politically left researcher or think tank does a "study," the results will, almost 100% of the time, support a leftist agenda. If a politically right researcher or think tank does a "study," the results will, almost 100% of the time, support a rightist agenda.

That's not research, it's propaganda. Sorry, bad_luck, it's just the way it is.

It appears dino does NOT have Admin's approval to abuse the red line feature. When I asked them why they would give that privilege to anyone, I received this reply:

Nobody has the right to abuse the redline feature.

I've issued him a warning, so let me know if it continues.

If he red lines a civil response of yours just because he doesn't like it, Admin. should be told. He will be held to the same standard as everyone else.
No longer do you need to worry about posting in "his" thread.
