> living in a society full of people that belong to my groups is a net-negative for people that don't belong to my groups This is not a statement I would ever make, or an analysis I would find valuable to explore. Trying to compare the overall net gains and losses that different groups in society receive from each other seems both incredibly impossible, as well as unable provide any concrete, actionable information. > wringing your hands over being a 'privileged white male'. Once again, I doubt the author of the linked article would agree with this characterization. To me, it seems the author is simply trying to be considerate about a touchy, complex issue. Being disappointed that the company one works for is lacking in diversity is NOT the same thing as being wracked with guilt over one's cultural background or privilege. Edit: Made a few tweaks and tried to make my points more clearly. Hopefully you weren't already replying.
