I'll use the opportunity of this thread to post some links of my own. :) I've already been asked privately (by someone not subscribed to the d-w mailing list) about the article I referenced regarding the mathematics of racism (and racist outcomes). I have not managed to locate the article I was thinking of, but I did find several related articles: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00222500490480202#.Ugysm6wdd39 http://usj.sagepub.com/content/40/13/2687.short http://www.pnas.org/content/105/11/4109.full.pdf+html This last one looks very close to the one I remember reading, and may have been used as a reference in the paper I'm looking for. I think it's a very good insight into how slight social differences at the individual level can be magnified across large groups resulting in very uneven outcomes, and it's worth understanding how this might apply to the problem of gender bias among the population of DDs. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
