I think you are honest so I'll give you my best explanation: Many people here, including many black I think are utterly fed up with nonsense. I am someone who badgered my boss to get him to give a job to the foreign cleaning lady who had the necessary degree (he did give her a job). My Indian colleague came to thank me a few years later for helping them settle in. And I'd probably step in in a fight to save someone. But this stupid stuff that has been going on for the last few years? I guess it causes even more grief for everyone.

If you think they're being honest, why not give an honest response too? > I am someone who badgered my boss to get him to give a job to the foreign cleaning lady who had the necessary degree (he did give her a job). My Indian colleague came to thank me a few years later for helping them settle in. What's the relevance of this self-congratulatory bit? Is this a way to say "I'm not racist so trust my opinion" ? > But this stupid stuff that has been going on for the last few years? I guess it causes even more grief for everyone. Got it. So you think jokes about systemic racism and affirmative action are an appropriate response to a technology failure? Do you think this article has anything to do with the so called "culture wars" that you seem to be bemoaning?
