this should embarrass anyone reading this article “They found that, in companies that explicitly held meritocracy as a core value, managers assigned greater rewards to male employees over female employees with identical performance evaluations. This preference disappeared where meritocracy was not explicitly adopted as a value.”

Glad belief in meritocracy is the critical evil

We know the answer to that already from when Americans of Japanese ancestry were sent to the concentration camps. Both.

Also, Godwin.
