>What you describe is probably mathematically impossible, but it definitely does not reflect reality.
Wow... I can't believe white supremacists can just post all they want here in HN. "Objectiveness" is WHITENESS! Western math is RACIST AGAINST BIPOCS! Disgusting that I have to witness this insane bigotry here.
Big tech companies who have huge D&I directives will just hire any BIPOC/minority they can to fill their quotas, culture fit or not (most Bay Area cultures are far-leftist, so they'll assume BIPOCs are on their side). They don't call them quotas, but they have "quarterly and yearly targets" to get to 30% BIPOCs, etc.
Executive compensation is tied to how many BIPOCs they can shuffle in the door. Imagine being the diversity hire so a corporate multi-millionaire could keep his year-end bonus.
Welcome to modern discourse. Think that some of the things the BLM organization stands for are detestable? Congratulations! You're now a racist bigot, because you don't believe that Black lives matter.
EDIT: The flagging of this comment only proved my point.
Hilarious. Software development at Verkada is filled with "non-traditional backgrounds" leftist SJW types that spew neurotic delusional beliefs on Slack all day.
I bet management wishes they would have hired some real devs with backgrounds in software development and security. You reap what you sow.
>Just because something isn't specifically connected to race doesn't mean it is innocuous.
No one said otherwise. Luckily, "blacklist" is innocuous, and the only ones calling for its replacement and removal are neurotic leftists.
Dragons breathe fire, and my family burned to death. For my safety, please change your username to something that won't trigger me, your username is not innocuous. I see your username and all I can think about is my family burning.
Just because something isn't specifically connected to race doesn't mean it is innocuous.
>It's a minor thing, something you can live with individually, except that as a constant daily drumbeat.
Your entire argument is based on this pretence that is demonstrably false.
Getting reported to HR by these neurotic professional victims is not something you can "just shake off", you literally can't "just ignore it".
It's asymmetrical warfare, and the externalities are all on you, the microagressor.
All of this reminds me of the 90s when Evangelicals wanted schools to ban students from talking about, wearing clothing with, or playing anything related to Pokemon, because it was an affront and a "microagression" to their religion.
Here we are, just a few decades later and leftists and SJWs are now the ones playing the victims, being "microagressed".
>Who would make an HR complaint over one ill-considered remark?
It's painfully obvious you haven't been exposed to Bay Area/West Coast start-up culture (I envy your lack of exposure).
I've seen people getting reported to HR for the following things:
- Using a photo of a Sherpa (an actual photo, not a character or drawing) in a presentation to describe the concept of guiding people and systems to their desired outcome and state. They were reported for using racist caricatures of marginalized minorities
- Discussing shooting sports in a thread about hobbies. They were reported for making people feel unsafe
- Someone posted a screen shot of a Tweet in support of BLM, but the screen shot was from Blacktivist, a Twitter account that was part of a Russian propaganda campaign. Someone replied to the screen shot that maybe it should be taken down since it was literally created and pushed from a propaganda account. They were reported for being insensitive to PoC employees
These are just a few out of the dozens upon dozens. I'm sure many others here on HN could provide examples.
I wonder how much of it has to do with leftists and SJWs who would scream if sexual attraction between objectively beautiful people was shown on the big screen.
Body positivity, "Whiteness", and other deranged ideas are just not worth Hollywood fighting against.

I don't need you to mansplain and whitesplain to me you bigot.
