good and others,
"Negative in what way?" I think my reaction could be accurately described as something like "ugh, what is wrong w/ you, how can you be like that?" As I said, that's just a negative bias I hold. If they turn out to be good, smart, nice people, I have no problem being their friend or whatever. I just start out by default feeling somewhat negative towards them until I have information to make me feel otherwise. More specifically, let's take this example. I have two resumes that look similar in terms of backgrounds, experience, etc. I walk into the room where they are waiting and I find: a black guy and a white guy - I won't hold a preference towards either a short guy and a tall guy - Again, no preference a fat guy and an in shape guy - Not having anything to do with health insurance costs or sick days or any specific things having to do with health, I will have an innate bias against the fat guy in a sort of "I'd prefer having the other guy around than the fat guy" way. This of course assumes that neither of the resumes has an obviously Jewish last name. |
