Oh this is hilarious[0]:
> White people do have culture. Our culture is that of colonization. Of genocide. Of taking. Of envy and of fear. The majority of white people can name no more than two generations back in their families. The majority of white people barely know where their grandparents were from, much less who their ancestors were. The majority of white people have no traditions, and the ones we have, are rooted in consumption and the superficial application of organized religion, both of which are steeped in histories of violence.
I have hard time believing it was really on the reading list of internal training at Google.

- s1artibartfast 5y agoWhat an upsetting read. IT reeks of misdirected self-loathing. I feel empty and superficial > I am white > Therefore whiteness is the the root of emptiness (not me)
- hdjjhhvvhga 5y agoI mean, that's OK, it's a free country, someone wrote their ramblings (using tools created in the context of the culture they criticize), but having Google and other companies use these for their internal training makes no sense to me. Especially for programmers and people with formal training in logic. You can basically take any paragraph and prove it's not true and, often, also incoherent. Imagine sitting through this kind of "training" and knowing you need to have to nod your head otherwise you risk losing your job.
