  • Not very important but I remember it strangely well.

    I was 8 years old. My teacher asked “What is one hundred times one hundred?”

    I raised my hand and said “Ten thousand!”

    “No, it’s one thousand. Ten times ten is one hundred, and one hundred times one hundred is one thousand.”

    “But… It’s ten thousand. Can I show you on a calculator?”

    “No! Sit down, it’s one thousand. I’m the teacher, I should know.”

    I later got a calculator and showed her and she didn’t apologise.

    The issue is, in practically, resumes don’t have all indicators of race or gender removed.

    There have been several studies that suggest that the name on the resume is enough of an indicator of race and gender to let bias creep in. Even on otherwise identical resumes. I’m not sure if we’re going to remove names from resumes any time soon.
