Abstract
Inaccurate beliefs about racial gaps in productivity can have wide-ranging implications in the workplace. In an online experiment, we hired a nationally representative sample of Prolific workers to assess the performance of Amazon Mechanical Turk workers on a math test based on stylized resumes. Participants randomly assigned to a Black primary investigator evaluated Black workers as more productive than participants assigned to a White primary investigator. This study provides suggestive evidence on how the racial identity of supervisors may shift perceived racial differences in productivity and how Black leaders can disrupt belief-based discrimination against Black workers.

Cardinal Robert McElroy, Archbishop of Washington,
Calls for Immediate End to Escalating Violence in Iran

 
WASHINGTON, D.C. – I join my voice in support of the statement of Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, and all the bishops of the United States calling for the immediate cessation of hostilities. Any nation which undertakes war with the intention of ending an entire civilization has lost its moral compass, and I call upon all of my fellow citizens to join together in bringing us home to the principles upon which our nation was founded.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.
