Why is that an upside? It seems utterly racist to me. Let’s try to substitute “white” with, say, Asian.
“The upside to this is that Asian people no longer make up the majority at Facebook.”
Or how about the color black?
“The upside to this is that black people no longer make up the majority at Facebook.”
I wonder how that would go down?

I echo this sentiment completely. Why is anti-white racism being encouraged?
- jhedwards 8y agoBecause historically many American companies were 100% white and controlled all the financial and political power. We never had a homogenous Asian or black majority in our society, so there is an attempt here to make up for hundreds of years of segregation where black people were not allowed in the office, the church, the restaurant etc, simply because they were black.
