"Negative stereotypes can cancel each other out on résumés"

""Several lines of work in the social sciences would suggest that membership in disadvantaged social categories combine in simple, straightforward ways," said Willer, whose research interests include status hierarchies. "But Pedulla's work suggests the process is more complex and that the contents of the stereotypes of different disadvantaged groups can counteract one another, leading to less total disadvantage than would have previously been expected.""

This is sooooo interesting/terrible (there really needs to be a word for that, it's sort of where I live my life), and I hope they do more work to determine the subconscious measures of worth and threat going on.
