so its just not an excuse
Pretty wildly different rate. I tend not to believe science reporter in three tweets though. Would like to see methods and peer review.

This concern should have been addressed, if it really materially affects performance on the team, and this is a big IF, in the dreaded cultural fit part of the interview and not like that where they openly discriminate against him because of his religious background.
There was a similar post a few days ago where someone did this but instead of changing their name they changed their gender (female names got significantly more responses). That post got flagged and this post is in the frontpage. Interesting.

He only changed his name, not his education history. Please don't try to justify discrimination based on color or national origin. It is, in fact, against the law.
>not his education history. Provided that someone has actually read his educational history. It's more likely the reading has stopped at "From: Muhammad Abdullah". And I'm trying to find the likeliest explanation of the phenomenon other than the 'omnipresent racism' theory. Please don't accuse people of thought crimes without a sufficient basis.

That's called racism.

Any chance you can find the link to the dead post? I am curious to see it.

That's not a "good example of unconscious bias". Unless there's something else going on here (one or both of the names used in the experiment had some sort of reputation in the community already, or some other aspects of the CV were changed in the experiment), this is an absolutely stunning result and evidence of very conscious bigotry. This is a Black person applying for a job in 1920s Atlanta kind of result. In 2022 academia!
A lot of people are debating if this post is legit. I can't make any definite statements, but an 87% response rate for any job application is extremely high.

In general, I do not think flagged posts get removed (I have access to multiple such posts). But they probably are not listed in the search indices, only available with a direct link (e.g. from your comment history if you commented there).
