Do you take ethnicity into account when gauging someone's competence?

[Beowulf]

And when forced to choose?
Let's say you're a teacher and you have to prepare a group of kids for a contest where problem solving skills, teamwork and discipline are key abilities. You can coach a team of middle class African-American students or another of poor Chinese students from rural areas with semi-literate parents. Which group do you choose?
Language barriers are not a problem and you intent to win the contest.

I don't think i just could choose one team personally i would choose both individually people have their good things and bad things wherever they are from imo.

You base your statements on stereotypes

What stereotypes? It is an hypothetical question and I didn't give any "correct" solution.

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately in real life you can't spend time getting to know everyone so you've got to blindly trust the system or make your own judgment, for better or worse.

Tbh I'd pick the Chinese team solely because of their ethnicity despite the African-American team having a much better resume on paper.

But you expect us to base a opinion on stereotypes and you just answered your own questions

Mostly not but with a few exceptions, for example Cuban doctors are a disaster who frequently miss a correct diagnostic/ treatment. Many South Asian Uber drivers are reckless drivers and lack higiene.

But Black doctors were admitted with lower grades thanks to racial quotas, then faculty had pressure to avoid them dropping out aka gave them inflated marks and hospitals are obliged to hire a diverse workforce.
Layer over layers of privileges which lead to questionable professionals.

I really doubt It specially In a position like that.

In the forum? Yes, i don't trust foreign descriptions of ethnicities because here everyone is biased. So of course i take ethnicity into account, which is why fake profiles are annoying.

Gebach, while affirmative action allows less qualified med students to attend prestigious schools it doesn't influence their score for their medical license.

So everyone who is a doctor met the same standard.

You consistently prove your ignorance.

Lol to the rest. Now excuse me while I go flip burgers, lolz.

All ethnicities are more or less the same in the current era, due to globalisation. The same goes with social classes, the divide doesn't exist anymore and everyone dreams of being the next famous millionaire. Fucking sad.

[Smaug]

No.
