Number 3 is killer. I’m in a private Slack with a bunch of white designers and boy are they negative. ANYTHING gets released and they hear about it? Teardowns that’ll make iFixit’s head spin!
I take a leave of absence when the force is strong.
- junon 5y agoCurious, what does the designers being white have to do with anything? Are designers of other ethnicities immune to this?
- throwaway743 5y agoCould have meant "whiney" and got auto corrected? Idk but yeah if mentioning ethnicity was the intention, it's a ridiculous statement
- NetOpWibby 5y agoYes, autocorrect but weird how that still fits. I’ll keep the typo for transparency.
- junon 5y ago> but weird how that still fits Not really though.
- pickledish 5y agoI think they just meant that all the designers on the team happen to be white, so even with the typo, the statement is still technically correct.
- NetOpWibby 5y agoYup, this exactly.
- NetOpWibby 5y agoThat was a typo but anecdotally, the other Slack I’m in with a more diverse group of folks is a lot less negative.
- junon 5y agoYour skin color has no effect on your personality, sorry. The conclusion doesn't make much sense.
- codr7 5y agoBut a mix of people from different backgrounds will most definitely affect the group culture.
- NetOpWibby 5y agoThis exactly
- junon 5y agogroup culture != negativity/positivity. This is a motte and bailey[0] fallacy. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motte-and-bailey_fallacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motte-and-bailey_fallacy
- mistermann 5y agoSeems it was a typo, but I'd be surprised if creativity, self-confidence and other relevant factors are a constant across cultures.
