The fact you believe you can’t assess realities such as racism because your a particular race is a super strange concept. Can you assess reality? We all assume you can, sure you may not experience it directly, but you can just as easily observe.
The level of sexism and racism I see on a daily basis in tech is mind-boggling.
I’ve been in trainings (multiple), in fortune 100 companies (multiple), where white men were asked to apologize for the sins of other white people hundreds of years ago.
I’ve been in trainings where pictures of brains were put on screens and little sections were pointed at as the “racist” part of the brain. That’s, exactly what racists did (great scene in django unchained https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2prpdjkDIO8 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2prpdjkDIO8).
Is there racism against Asians absolutely, all people have bias and it’ll have an impact in particular situations.
The reality, is the focus on “women in tech” and “racism” is largely unnecessary and is leading to the caste system mentioned.
If you look at the office as “oppressed” and “oppressors” and do that based on race, you’re the racist. That’s what’s happening everywhere and frankly I know tens of people who have left these companies because of it.
