I'm particularly struck by your thought that privileged groups "will slowly sour over not being given equal opportunity and float away," when the entire point of this move is to help people who _actually_ have not been given opportunities based on their race and gender.
Also see [1] "The reason why I was sourcing out work specifically from WOC is because we have filled out freelance roster until June with white dudes." White males seem to have been given plenty of opportunity.

- hitekker 11y agoI believe others should read the parent comment's previous statement before reading the parent comment itself: >It [Her texts about "pale devils"] alienates far more fragile white guys than the groups she's looking to employ. An unfortunate sacrifice, but necessary none the less. Ridiculing people who are put off by words like "pale demons" as "fragile", reveals a critical lack of empathy. For me, it transforms phrases like "unfortunate sacrifice" and the above comment into crocodile tears. A pretense at humanity and, functionally, no different from the white supremacists who defend police brutality against blacks as an "unfortunate but necessary tragedy." Insidious, really.
- 13thLetter 11y agoThat "white dudes" tic again? It's really weird how you can tell so much about a person who uses that awkward phrase. You hear it, and you know there's an enormous baggage train of smug speech policing and poorly concealed prejudice coming in behind it.
