Does she offer any actual evidence that she was rejected due to racism? She just seems to assume it.

Both of those are deprecated, and there's this, too: "Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

- Geoffhk 6y agoThe part where she doesn't get a response when using her email but does when using her partner's email is pretty convincing. There are many studies that gauge racism in hiring by sending out resumes that only differ in candidate's name.
- xibalba 6y agoI don't think so. The husband's resumé is dramatically more qualified that the author's. He has multiple startups/exits and was a FAANG engineer.
- anon102010 6y agoIs she similarly qualified? I never realized these racism studies were done using such different resumes. This is a bit shocking if so. You have a multi-exit google engineer vs a trainer? She doesn't share her deck? A quick look - did she buy reviews (the block of 5 star reviews)?
