> Such that in your mind, "including referrals in your hiring funnel" == aggravated bias (in the sense above), basically.

Can you show where I said anything approaching this? I do not believe this, nor do I believe I said or even suggested this to be the case.



I'm asserting the practice among those in power of favoring relatives, friends, or even friends of friends over other, more qualified candidates is a contributing factor to that diversity problem.


Not sure where in that statement I referenced hiring funnels.


"Referenced", in the sense of even bringing it up in a discussion all about hiring funnels, perhaps?


I'd continue, but you're getting awful slippery.


You made an assumption that turned out not to be true. That's okay, it happens!
