Easy to say for us straight, white men.
We've all been in situations that are uncomfortable, that's not news. But imagine a time when you suddenly realized you were the only white person in the room, or the only man in the room. That feeling of, "wait... am I not supposed to be here?"
I agree that we ought not to even notice, and I especially agree that we (all humans) shouldn't care. But in real life people do notice, and it's hard not to after someone points it out to you :/

- imanaccount247 12y agoIt is easy to say for me too, and I am neither white nor a man. It is easy to say because it is simple reality.
- mahyarm 12y agoStatistically, there's a pretty good chance he would be asian instead. It's something like %60 white (which can be as varied as middle eastern, russian, western european immigrant or american, all very different) and %30 asian. Then it's about %4 black and %4 latino. In the usa, the numbers are around %64 white people, %13 black, %15 hispanic and %5 asian. Most tech companies match the % of whites as the rest of the USA, it's the asian, black and latino numbers that do not match. Blacks and latinos would have to triple and the asians would have to be divided by 7.5 to match the us numbers.
