What about this situation makes you think that white and Asian men are privileged as compared to women?
What fraction of companies would you estimate have policies similar to yours?
- manfredo 8y agoI can only talk about my experience in the SF Bay area, but these policies don't seem too out of place. Some of my co-workers go a step further and claim that companies are racist and sexist if they don't use policies like this. Public figures also agree. Bloomberg's Emily Chang - one of San Francisco's most prominent tech reporters - encouraged adopting explicit reservation systems for women. Even though this is totally illegal in the United States. I'll admit that at the end of the day I'm only one data point and that maybe I fell in with an especially progressive group. But this is what I'm seeing.
