This is nothing more than a trope.
- OrangeKnucles 6y agoMost developers are Asians and Indians. Hiring SWEs is very meritocratic, you can't get in just because you are of a certain race or ethnicity. UX and design have several Beckies. Hiring is much more fluid/subjective. By painting UX as requiring "empathy" and claiming that white women have this magical quality but Indians or Asians are soulless robots who don't have empathy; it is subtle racist attempt to keep them out while favoring Beckies or handsome white guys.
