Researchers also found that under qualified and equally qualified whites were considered above the black minorities. The studies carried out by Art Brief and his colleague indicates that when instructed to discriminate under the disguise of “business justifications” the research subjects did so. They rated black candidates lower than the white equally qualified candidates. The more disturbing statistics was that when giving the justification of business some researchers also chose under qualified whites above qualified blacks. Education can be used to reduce resistance against diversity efforts.
