I'll believe this was actually racially blind when Twilio releases a count of each race that was laid off, and the sum of each race for employees in the company prior to the layoff. It's very simple for everyone to verify whether there was racial targeting outside the statistically probable bounds of random selection from the parent group.
I have no problem with people being woke as long as we're both working towards a provable shared reality with data rather than rhetoric.
Humans lie. Sufficient amounts of data analyzed by a suficient number of people do not.
Assuming it was possible to look at the data I call for above, would you be opposed to the public dissemination and analysis of it?
- spamizbad 4y agoThat's not good enough. They could just lie. You need a formal audit conducted by a third party. Anything else is unacceptable.
- christkv 4y agoThat’s what discovery is for in a court of law. Hopefully we all get to read the findings.
- hotpotamus 4y agoPlease enumerate all the races first and the criteria to distinguish each race from the other. It will be important for your statistical analysis.
- anonym29 4y agoLet's just use hexadecimal RGB values for skin color.
- bombcar 4y agoNo need. You can use whatever Twilio defines because they obviously must have defined something to be able to state they acted anti-racist. (The reality of the whole thing is so obvious that they paid some contractor to say they’re antiracist without actually changing anything they did.)
- hotpotamus 4y agoHell if you wanted to go full Machiavelli, you might say that's in there to distract from the layoffs themselves - seems to work in this thread for instance.
