Don’t count where? If a person looks like they are from a warmer region and speaks Portuguese - unless they object - they will be classified as a PoC by most people in the US. Mayb…

There is way more to race classification than the government classification. Talking to people, selecting the right choice in a questionnaire, applying for a job - no one is verify…

I disagree. This is just a different relationship with work - not better and not worse. Being focused on career advancements doesn’t make them (sorry for generalizing again) worse …

I know I am not in a position to complain (I am a “white” European) but I would be furious if I was so often grouped into a completely arbitrary race/ethnicity/skin color/country o…

How is it describing it though? What does a white-looking immigrant Brazilian of European ancestry have in common with a Native American? How does labeling both as PoC address any …

It’s ok to question any hiring discrimination and share personal observations about group behavior. However I agree with you that some of the comments are close to being derogatory…

There is no group culture fit at tech companies. It’s always a company culture fit, ie “groupless” in theory.

In my experience many Indians are very career oriented (mean that with no criticism). Ie they focus on promotions, career advancements, power consolidation, and not as much on work…

Never noticed that in tech. I guess flattery is not very common in this industry in general.

Agreed. The dream is for everyone to have a medal and cake. Even for disadvantaged while people in the US, who are not “colonizers” or some lucky “white privilege” beneficiaries.

It sounds more and more like in the US (and, perhaps, in Canada too) people are being divided into essentially 2 categories: white and non-white. But to complicate things, people w…

Interesting, looks like some sexual orientations fall into the “underrepresented community” definition. I wonder how the gauge this type of diversity. Would it be “sufficient” if h…

Why are you conflating interpersonal racism with systemic? Both exist. If a white person is racist towards a black person do you call that racial bias? If you do, you are just repl…

Racism by default means interpersonal racism. That’s why when we talk about systemic racism we add this qualifier. There might not be systemic anti-white racism in the US but there…

Out of interest, are you still considered a person of color in the US?

Technically there are more options, I agree. Practically very often these options are divided into whites (includes Asians) and people of color (includes Latinos but blacks have pr…

Huh I didn’t know that! So does it mean that websites internationalize even the salutations? Do they replace “Hi Joe” with “Good day Mr. Brown” in Germany?

My understanding is that asking the sexual orientation question is illegal at least in some states. Personally never been asked that by any employer in CA.

If they know your race they can limit the amount of racism allocated to you by the company /s

Most of the time in the US race means skin color. Which is somewhat ironic for a society so attached to Martin Luther King’s Jr. values.

Seems like you are equating open source to free. No reason to do that - you can have a monetized open source product.

So what age were the French talking about? It’s absolutely hilarious that you justify 13 year olds being able to give consent today while posturing about some French petitions from…

Yes, at that time men under the age of 21 were considered children not being able to give consent specifically to having gay sex. However, men of the same age were not considered c…

Amazing! Love heavy CSS experiments
