White men are not discriminated against in tech.
Terminology matters. Slavery was only a couple generations ago. The people marching in the street and the comments in this thread make it quite clear we still have a long way to go. This is a small step along that path in the right direction.
- Hamuko 6y ago>Slavery was only a couple generations ago. Just because it happens in a country you don't care about, doesn't mean that it no longer happens.
- f1refly 6y agoMy ancestors where slaves to the families who owned the land they lived on. We moved on. In fact, it's not unlikely your own ancestors where de-facto slaves as well. You can now decide to wallow in self pity or be above it and move on with your life.
- yakshaving_jgt 6y ago> Slavery was only a couple generations ago. This is objectively, demonstrably wrong. It’s ahistorical. Unless of course, your view is so myopic and US-centric that you’re blind to any slavery outside of the one specific example you’re obviously referring to. All the while posturing your empathy for others.
