There is no indication that people are being denied entry to certain fields.
- commandlinefan 6y agoNone that I'm aware of. I've never even seen somebody claim to be an otherwise qualified candidate who is unable to enter a field due to demographics.
- kevingadd 6y agoOther than high-profile lawsuits against tech companies accusing them of discrimination against demographic groups? https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/06/07/google-discrimination-case-first-brought-by-james-damore-can-proceed/ https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/06/07/google-discrimination... "Now the plaintiffs can request access to internal Google documents to try to support their allegations, which also include some people being “denied employment because of their actual and perceived conservative political activities and affiliations, and their status as actual or perceived Asian or Caucasian male job applicants,”" There are myriad examples of this sort of allegation from the last decade, it's not hard to find them. They've been discussed here on HN.
- cheesecracker 6y agoOK sorry I meant there is no indication of such denial of entry BEFORE the activists take over. Once they manage to install their quota rules, it is of course not a fair playing field anymore.
