> most of them claim to be white males There’s really no need to call this out repeatedly as if something sinister is happening. Despite ongoing efforts, the overwhelming majority of tech workers are… white males. So yes, the largest number of voices complaining about joblessness are unsurprisingly going to be white males.

Asking about "white males" because I'm seeing claims that white males are being disproportionately affected. I haven't made the claim myself. I'm a white male so my experiences are based on that demographic.are the majority of tech workers white males? Can you show me stats on this? Is there a site I can view thst shows demographic data?

Two things can be true at once. We have a workforce that is mostly white males in a majority-white country and we also have credible reports of anti-white bias in hiring, which is illegal and racist. If people feel that employers who explicitly say they want to hire non-whites ONLY in violation of the law are in fact doing that, why do you feel the need to chime in with attacks on the victims?

Nah, there’s definitely racism from asian hiring managers. It’s not totally unexpected, though. Unlike us white males, most of them haven’t been trained from birth to not prefer candidates that look like them. If you disagree though, I challenge you to go on linkedin and randomly choose 10 asian hiring managers from tech companies and then the demographics of the people who work for them.
