"there's also countless examples of businesses who
clearly only hire white dudes with beards and
wraparound Oakleys. So the point feels fairly moot."
Name one. I bet you can't. If you could, multiple public interest law firms would be competing to sue that employer.
I believe there was a time when hiring managers discriminated against black people, women, etc. But aside from one indian manager who only interviewed indian candidates in 2005, I have seen no evidence of it in the last 20 years. In contrast, I have seen dozens instances of favoritism toward female candidates in my last three jobs as a programmer. I think your stereotype of corporate america is 20+ years out of date.
I will change my mind if I see evidence. Will you?
Do you actually see white and asian men being favored in any way at work?
- georgepinkfloyd 3y ago"What have white men ever done for us?" I used to work for an American company in Australia and there was definitely a push to hire female managers, to the point where they would ignore the stack of resumes they already had and actually went poaching for candidates on LinkedIn (i.e. messaging women who were not applicants in the first place, offering them an interview). We also had a ton of nonsense from US clients asking us not to use terms like "blacklist" or "master" in our software, requiring completely useless changes to be made for compliance.
