I was just saying, when you have a business to run, you need to run the business. I'm all for diverse teams. I also get that as one of the minorities life can be hard and I respect that, I'd love to help you get through it. But, if tech problems need solving, and you're not making a profit, do you need engineers that spend most of their time on diversity related matters?
Diversity should be normal, I agree and indeed perhaps some efforts should always be spend on such matters. But when is it enough?
- 1attice 4y agoThat you've actually articulated the idea that one cannot be concerned with one thing, and spend your time doing another, suggests that you have zero respect for the fortitude and perserverance of your diverse colleagues. You simply have no idea how strong we've all had to be. In part, because of patronizing attitudes like you've expressed here.

- 1attice 4y agoWhat you did wrong is consistently characterize your intellectual opponents as being dominated by "negative emotions," a thing you are still doing. This is how you lose arguments. This is how you lost this one.
