You strive to eliminate bias everywhere. Putting your thumb on the scale during the audition portion because there may have discrimination before does not make sense.
I get that it would be impossible to solve all forms of discrimination everywhere. I think my fundamental question is can you solve the problem of systemic discrimination, by ignoring it? My problem with the blind audition is you are fixing a local problem and in turn ignoring the global problem.
It seems that corporations and governments are trying to solve the global problem (lack of diversity due to discrimination) which then in turn causes local problems (reverse discrimination).
