In articles about the google diversity numbers, many people were "shocked by how overwhelmingly white and male they are" and similar things. The implication is clearly that overrepresentation of white males is a problem. Hence white males are part of the problem. It's obvious why this makes many people defensive, even though there is in fact a problem.
- bruceb 12y agoThe term white male needs to stop being used as an epithet. Of course there is going to be a backlash from X when you say there are too many of X. Saying we need more Y, Z, etc makes the same point without needless turning X against the goal of a more balances company, school, gov't etc.
