"your efforts will lead to a discrimination of 20 years old females"

I'd think that this is an extremely far-fetched example that fails at basic logic. Just because a very specific scenario will be flagged does not mean that this scenario is generalized to all CEOs, all females, all 20 year olds.

I think their point is that a lot of us, upon hearing "group A tend to exhibit more of some negative trait X than some other group B" mentally start to associate A with X and this creates a social stigma - just because how our brains work.

I wish there'd be some way to phrase such statements in a nonjudgmental way, without introducing a perception bias...
