People think that they are judging someone on „merit“ or „performance“ but if you aren’t even considering all the contributing factors that may affect your judgement (i.e. everything that is different and everything that is similar between the other person and you), you are not judging on „merit“.
@jamellebouie.neti think it is interesting that the author of this piece wrote "judging people by race instead of merit has to end" in the context of "DEI and affirmative action are bad"
