Literally none. The same number of my coworkers that post online about diversity hiring being equivalent to a particularly insidious fatal disease!
edit:
I’ll add that as someone that has been in the room when my family had to make the decision to move a loved one with cancer into hospice more than once, I’m sure what you’ve (the posters talking about race cancer or whatever other grievance) seen is definitely the same thing!
- woooooo 4y agoSo I didn't post anything about cancer. And nobody posted that they really hope they don't sit next to a black guy. Maybe this tendency to demand total fealty or level accusations of racism is alienating people from your movement?
- braingenious 4y agoI clarified who I was referring to before you responded. Thanks for weighing in though! Have you heard of any studies about diversity being akin to a fatal disease or… are you just here to say you don’t like my post? edit: Can you point out what “my movement” is? I posted about how I thought some posts are silly. edit 2: I’ll respond to your response here! “ I think the DEI movement is full of grifters and dummies who think saying intersectional a lot of times makes something right, is what I think. It's a jobs program for humanities majors where we pay them to tell us how awful we are” Okay, so I’m part of “the DEI movement” (this isn’t something I’ve ever heard of but ok) Since all posts are motivated by movements, can you describe your movement?

- woooooo 4y agoYou posted accusing people of some pretty racist hypothetical behavior. It's not charitable.

- woooooo 4y agoOne of my principles is to be really suspicious of tribalism, especially the kind where they're putting words in the other tribe's mouth. Consider: https://youtu.be/rE3j_RHkqJc https://youtu.be/rE3j_RHkqJc
- braingenious 4y agoSo like, would accusing me of being a paid shill violate that principal? Out of curiosity, since you’re not in a movement or part of a group, who did you mean by “we” and “us” in the sentence “It's a jobs program for humanities majors where we pay them to tell us how awful we are” ?
- woooooo 4y agoI didn't accuse you of anything besides putting words in people's mouths. Watch the video, it's short and I think it would be enlightening. ("We" meant software engineers)

- woooooo 4y agoI was referring to professional DEI people and did not use the word "you" in that sentence. Are you one? That would track with the quality of this discussion, actually. Seriously, watch the video I posted and think about it. Consider the principle of charity in the HN rules as well.
