Blind Auditions in the Left's Croshairs
John Lees
(John is from across the pond in the U.K.)
I've just been made aware of the issue of racism in selection of musicians for orchestras and how "blind auditions" were alleged to aid minority applicants.
So, I looked into this topic briefly. To my surprise I found numerous articles from leftist outlets calling for an end to blind auditions.
So what is going on? Apparently in the U.S. blind auditions became common from 1969. And this has certainly helped to reassure people that there is reduced bias in favour of an old boy's network of white men.
However, it turns out that blind auditions did not result in a vast increase in the number of successful entrants from black and latino back-grounds, as was initially hoped.
So, there are people on the left calling for an end to blind auditions.
It seems that they want for it to be possible to see that an applicant is minority and to hire them specifically for that reason. Even if the individual ain't so good at playing their instrument!!!
This is from the New York Times!!!

The US Navy decided that they needed to quit including photos in submissions for officer's promotions because those photos, obviously, revealed when the candidates were persons of color, and allowed them to be discriminated against. It was thought that omitting photos would result in more persons of color being promoted. It backfired, of course. Without photos significantly fewer persons of color were promoted. Turns out the minorities were not being discriminated against, the white candidates were.
