It's almost like this was directly addressed in the article:
>especially the idea that women and people of color felt particularly unwelcome. There’s a weird paradox with bias. Those of us who have privilege, but care deeply about reducing bias should be uniquely positioned to help, but we struggle the hardest to recognize that we are (unintentionally) biased ourselves
And this line in your post:
>pointless virtue signaling.
Really nice recycled talking point. It also strikes at the heart of the above quote.
- metalliqaz 8y agoBias is real, and privilege is real. I don't argue otherwise. Let's be honest here. If you are able to post on SO at all, you are in the global top 10% of privilege. If you scale it down to a company, it's like the President vs a VP. I choose not to spend my energy splitting those hairs.
- kadenshep 8y agoYou are spending your energy attempting to ignore people's view points. You called SO reacting to complaints and feedback "pointless virtue signaling" You are now attempting to say you personally wouldn't bother with what SO is doing (as if anyone asked) because other people are unfortunate enough to not have access to the same resources we do? Do I really need to illustrate how nonsensical that is? What's your angle?
