This has helped orchestras in preventing gender/racial discrimination reasonably well. It's very fair and reasonable too because one either hits the note or they don't.
Now, what if every student applicant to elite colleges and universities were given a randomized number and their acceptance therein was solely based upon academic achievement, psychological testing and a resume, is that the "fair" way to do it as well?
I think it would be a fast curtain to "hive mind" creating less opportunities for the underprivileged no matter what their race, gender or otherwise.
