Based on what exactly do you imply that Jeff Dean is a perpetrator of racism? Because he is a white dude? Isn't that ironic?

Many regular jobs are outside of the 9-5 interval so having a different schedule is not exploitative per se. In this case many people would probably appreciate the flexibility to actually have leisure and see their families in daylight hour
