Do we have statistical evidence of this bias? I'm not doubting we do, I would just like to explore it.

There are many professions that are dominated by a single gender or a single ethnicity. That's not necessarily evidence of bias.

There are lots of ways to explore this. For example, sending identical resumes with female and male names for engineering jobs and measuring requests for interviews.
