This isn't true. Can you cite examples?

• Will_Parker 8y ago
  One personal example was pointing out that referring to "white brogrammer culture" is sexist, racist, and insulting. I didn't get fired, but I had to talk to a few people in HR because of it. Here's a tech CEO claiming: "In today’s climate, failure to express a progressive stance on diversity can make you a professional pariah" https://www.fastcompany.com/40524955/i-accidentally-built-a-brogrammer-culture-now-were-undoing-it https://www.fastcompany.com/40524955/i-accidentally-built-a-... Being so sure my claim isn't true, can you cite examples of someone criticizing intersectionality in tech, and it not leading to controversy?

    Can you please explain how reprimanding people referring to "white brogrammer culture" as sexist, racist, and insulting a far-left idea? I would think many would slap some kind of alt-right label on that type of wrongthink.

      Sorry, I can't parse your question! I believe that the term "white brogrammer culture", as a pejorative, is sexist and racist and insulting. (See the article I mentioned for a use of this term.) And I've observed that pointing this out leads to trouble. Can you give an example of a critique of intersectionality that is acceptable in a tech company? I suspect you can't.
