So according to your logic adding to job ad such a sentence:
"We especially encourage white, heterosexual men"
would be completely OK? Because nothing here is "therefore an implicit discouragement to" other ethnicity/sexuality/gender.
- Balgair 7y agoYeah, if you also encouraged other types of people too. But, like, listing out all the types would be a little much. Like, women are obviously under represented in tech, despite many efforts by the Big 4 to increase representation [0]. The Big 4 are doing better at getting women into tech, but they still have a ways to go. The survey details some of those struggles. So, logically, you'd like to continue to encourage women to apply. WASPy men don't seem to need this encouragement thus far, but times may change. [0] https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/07/diversity-report/ https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/07/diversity-report/
