Can you clarify what this statement means?
- ikurei 5y agoI understood it as a contrast with the wider tech world, where most people, and specially most people leading, are white males.
- pkos98 5y agoEspecially in tech hubs in the US, there are approx. as many Asian as White people. So don't think this interpretation would make sense?
- weird-eye-issue 5y agoIt's not just white guys
- Jorengarenar 5y agoMaybe white- and blue-collar?
- barry-cotter 5y agoSome people think that race is the most important thing about a person so they make sure to mention race in every situation.
- minitoar 5y agoHow can you tell that OP is a person that thinks race is the most important thing about a person?
- bmn__ 5y agoIt's an analogue to the "how can you tell someone is a vegan" trope.
- cocoricamo 5y agoIt's the same for crossfit and vapers. For reference I vape, but don't go telling... wait... damn.
- minitoar 5y agoSo the implication is that one who talks about race “too much” is a racist?

- layoutIfNeeded 5y agoIt’s an American thing. I think it’s best to just let it slide…
- Clampower 5y agoNo, this needs to be called out as the obvious racism it is as this mentality is slowly infiltrating the European tech sector.
- ignoramceisblis 5y agoWhen white dudes do good things, like supporting emergency shelters when their working-class lives are not otherwise consuming them, we get to take them for granted. Talk down about them. It's okay. In fact, it's all the rage. Don't worry, not ALL of the people doing the things we want done are white dudes.
