As a white person, I don't understand; why wouldn't you apply?
- yupper32 5y agoIf they specifically mention race in the listing, then it's probably a program specifically meant to help a company's diversity. I definitely do not fall into that category, and would feel that I'm actively hurting that effort by applying. And then if they turned around and also said "Unlike Silicon Valley, we aren't racist" then I'd just be uncomfortable with the whole thing. Not a perfect 1:1 comparison here, but hopefully it makes sense.
