But seriously, the study in the op-ed shows that despite a perception that women and minorities have a leg up in the hiring process, they are actually *discounted* for having the same qualifications as white men.
So, if you're a white man out there thinking that the women and minorities out there are "diversity" hires and therefore less qualified, actually, they (we) had to work harder to land the job.
Let that sink in.
Let that sink in.
Also, not that this is covered in the story, but if you try to remind people of your qualifications, you're considered uppity / difficult / status conscious.
