I have not seen any of the hiring conditions that this article speaks of. I haven’t worked for any company that ( honestly, now) took into account anyone’s looks over another. Jokes have been made, comments passed, but it’s never come down to a hiring decision.

I dare say that this diversity website tends to think the worst, or shine the light on nothing and swear that something was just there - and it moved.

I actually was promoted instead of an older guy 24 years ago because the CEO then was a dirty old man. I despised him and eventually got him fired for cooking the books. But the bias wasn't my fault, I did nothing to encourage it and I have always proven myself capable. I've been on the job 24 years and even my current boss, who I have actually hired twice, will tell you straight out that I run the company.

That being said, I really don't see that trend today, it is way too dangerous to even consider in this litigious society.
