I've worked at a company where every single meeting I had with a certain set of engineers started and rapidly devolved into a political narrative of how bad certain groups where.
I smiled and ignored them. I subconsciously made sure to avoid their input on important things.
The narrative was in-your-face progressive activist SJW to the max. Many people I privately spoke with in the company were sick of this idiocy, but couldn't see themselves speaking up, as they needed the job. They couldn't risk being fired by the company.
Imagine if you had to live that life.
Companies should not have political opinions or leanings.

- hpcjoe 6y agoWhy do you assume that I am not a minority or that I have not experienced such discrimination? I am a religious minority and have experienced this my entire life. Overt in school and grad school. Less overt but still there in professional life. My family including my wife and daughter are minority and multiracial. Stop with the whataboutism already.
