You have to submit a photo for a med school application too.I don't wonder why.Discrimination against whites (and frequently Asians) is perfectly acceptable to the elite.
What's wrong with submitting a photo?
I always liked this article. Blind auditions were proven to greatly increase hiring of female musicians to the symphony by ending discriminatory audition practices that apparently kept them out. But the symphony is mostly white and doesn't look like the community it serves so blind auditions now bad. I mean we could try school vouchers and let those poor brown kids attend good private music schools or something... https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/16/arts/music/blind-auditions-orchestras-race.htmlAs for Trudeau, I just want a DNA sample.

That's interesting. The Army just removed the requirement for a photo from our Record Brief, and has put out guidance that you aren't supposed to use gendered pronouns on soldiers evals.The stated purpose is so that promotion and competitive placement board won't see anything with race or gender, and can judge the soldier solely on their accomplishments. I never would have thought we'd see open racism make such a comeback.
So what pronouns are you allowed to use? "It"? Or are you now supposed to eschew pronouns entirely and always use language such as "this soldier"?
Probably the latter. "The candidate", "this soldier", etc. "One" is a perfectly good and underused pronoun, but I doubt that it works in this context. They could also use "he" for everybody regardless of sex (that is perfectly acceptable in English, but archaic) but I'm pretty sure they won't go there.
Archaic? I'm sure I heard biological female Starfleet officers addressed as "Mister" or "Sir" on TV . . .
