It’s a white male monoculture. The liberalism you’re talking about is white male liberalism, which in all honesty isn’t that different from conservatism. Being in favour of diversity and actually working to make it happen, kicking out harassers &c are quite different. Take a look at the recent love-in between Bannon and Maher.
I hate to disappoint you, but you have way more in common with your liberal co-workers than you think, and you both have less in common with the general population than you’d like to believe.
- Pica_soO 8y ago? So they asians and indians/pakistanis are just a ilusion? Its a mono-culture, of those cultures who are allowing for non-machoism endavours by teeangers to be pursuited.
- manfredo 8y agoInteresting view, given that Whites are proportionally underrepresented in much of Silicon valley companies. In fact, Google's tech roles are now majority non-white. Not that this is necessarily a problem, but it does not align with the idea that SV's monocultue comes from an overrepresentation of White people.
- moomin 8y agoIf there was a white male underrepresentation this might constitute a contribution to the conversation.
- manfredo 8y agoThe point is, at most there's a male over representation - but there's not a white over representation. The majority of Googlers are non-white, it seems dubious the country would have a white monoculture. Not to mention, we're being pretty ambiguous as to what we're really referring to by a "white male" culture. I'm going to hazard a guess that the >60% of white men who voted for Trump have a very different culture than the average white person at Google.
