No it does not. This is a bizarre way to look at things, that is all to common in the US but very much alien in most of the world. Why are those two dimensions

No it does not. This is a bizarre way to look at things, that is all to common in the US but very much alien in most of the world. Why are those two dimensions important to you (white and male)? What about affluent/poor, educated/uneducated, ginger/blonde, immigrant/native, enthusiastic/bored, religious/atheist, left-wing/right-wing.
The only problem here is the insistence on seeing things through the clownish lens of the "race-sex" combo. It makes it sounds like you can pretty much interchange "white males", like - "I guess I've already got a white guy friend, now I need an asian, and a black one". Nobody sane makes friends like that.
I would be really surprised if you didn't have a:
"Indian guy - Room mate of employee"
"Indian guy - Room mate of employee"
"Indian guy - Room mate of employee"
network in many Indian startups. Except each of those dudes would be a different person, with different experience, differente world view, different likes and dislikes, so what does it matter that they are Indian?
- spondylosaurus 3y agoAre ginger and blonde the only two options here?
- poszlem 3y agoIs that the most important thing you read from my comment?
- spondylosaurus 3y agoI mean, it jumped out me because ginger and blonde are both the two rarest hair colors and the ones more or less exclusive to people of European descent, but I also don't really want to waste energy debating someone who thinks it's "clownish" to note someone's race and gender in tandem, because we're clearly never gonna see eye-to-eye on this. So yeah, I guess it was the most important thing.
- robinbobbin 3y agoIt is kinda clownish to note that the coworkers are white males when it's followed by the fact that they're all room mates. What is the comment trying to draw attention to? Are they trying to highlight the fact that hiring is biased toward recommendations from employees? Then why mention the sex/race? Is it evidence of "structural imbalances as they exist in society right now" that three white males live in the same apartment in bay area?
