Supportive of what? Her overt racism? This seems like nothing more than a hateful and racist stance.
Look, I actually speak differently on this website than I do in real life. In real life, I use a lot of slang and Spanglish. Im aware of the monoculture you're talking about. But to me, it was always a nerd/geek monoculture, not a white one. I guess now that you and others have forced me to think that it's a homogenous white male culture, I subconsciously think that to.
- jakobegger 11y agoI can only imagine what this must feel like for @scaachi. She tries to hire writers that are underrepresented, and lots of people who have nothing to do with it start yelling at her. Yeah, she might not have used the most politically language -- but I think that intent is more important than what exactly upset people tweet when the situation escalates. I think that it is extremely important to hire people from diverse backgrounds, especially when hiring journalists. That's what I believe she was trying to do, and that's something that we should be supportive of.
