Why would you call out your colleague to take a public stand?
You really don't see anything wrong with it? Wut?
And if he didn't, the implication would be that he was racist, basically.
Timnit doesn't take a stand on blacks attacking Asians on twitter either. Is she racist against Asians?
Now let's go through 1000 other issues in the world!
So, yeah, this whole charade of calling out your colleague to tweet about your cause on twitter is highly toxic.
- loopz 6y agoThey are both engaging on Twitter, and I don't see any calling out. Unless you find a good quote, that is just discussing, as adults should. It may be bad choice on them both professionally, but you're singling out one..
- ergocoder 6y agoBecause she mentioned Jeff Dean first. Then, Jeff needed to ask what this was about. Then, Jeff ended with "personal attack is not okay". Like huh? At this point, we might as well ask Jeff to tweet that the earth is round. Otherwise, we would call him a flat earther. This isn't called "engaging" when one side would assume you were racist if you didn't tweet to support their cause. The word you are looking for is strongarming. The whole convo is just cringe.
- loopz 6y agoSomehow the feed didn't scroll up as far as it did now. I see some other posts before those I saw first. But that just confirms it, it's better to totally ignore any drama on Twitter, which also news organisations need to learn. Who said what, in an online forum, is just not newsworthy.
- ergocoder 6y agoI mean it would be hard to ignore when that person was your colleague... I'm sure, if it was a random person ,Jeff would have ignored
