In the world of data science, overfitting to the data is a well-known pitfall in which patterns in a specific sample are generalized to the entire population.
I've been thinking about this a lot, and wondering what an alternative to DEI as it is currently practiced/promoted would look like- like what if there were no affirmative action legislation at all?
In my mind right now I say to myself, "So let the chips just fall where they fall and pray/hope for the best? " You being an example of the best... But then I go, "Ok, lived practices on the part of some are great but these haven't percolated deep enough into mainstream culture. So I fear what would happen if, within the current construction of our economic and cultural life, we just totally got rid of DEI and affirmative action initiatives.
