They aren’t just racist to non focus ethnicities, they are racist to the focus ones too. Now I don’t know if it is intentional or unintentional but their policies negatively effect all groups:
I happen to be latino, and only after wasting my time with an entire loop at Microsoft with a bunch of clowns that had no interest in hiring me, did I realize that
1. my recruiter had been a “diversity and inclusion” recruiter
2. Microsoft has policies that require many eng. Managers to check the box of having interviewed a “diverse” candidate before extending an offer.
That’s why they do “hiring events” where everyone who conducts the interview is a hiring manager.
I cannot emphasize enough how disinterested the people who interviewed me where. All the coding questions i had about 20 minutes and they were Leetcode hards. One of them was so fucking incompetent that when I solved it, (most LC hards would take me considerably longer but this was in my wheelhouse) he was confused until I explained it step by step.
Tl;DR
Microsoft DEI policies wasted my time and also Microsoft seems to be staffed by a bunch of clueless clowns.

- pxmpxm 4y agoI always assumed that stuff was coming from english speaking white kids, rather than anyone that natively speaks a gendered language.
- garbagecoder 4y agoLatinx was originated by a Mexican-American (I am not Mexican-American but am Hispanic) but definitely spread by white liberals. Just call people what they want to be called. This goes for Americans too even though "America" means the whole hemisphere. When Italians are talking about a watered down coffee, they aren't blaming it on Colombia.
