I am sincerely trying to understand this line of thought. Is it that since white people have more power and more numbers we should focus extra hard on white bigotry? Starting with the assumption that all people should be treated equally tha

I strongly suspect that you would find the statement "If you want to increase productivity at Google fire all the lazy black people." racist because it implies that all black people are lazy. If both statement seems fine fine to y

Say I could prove that in a fair society 2 out of every 100 men would want to be programmers and only 1 out of every 100 women want that. Would stating that be problematic?

I am okay with not making unsupportable claims and assumptions about humans but that isn't what is happening in tech. The reason given to explain the gender gap is sexism. Which is pretty close to unsupportable...

The issue is that if that statement had not been included than OP would have been accused of being privileged and thus disqualified from having an opinion.

I will be honest. I haven't watched the video yet, I will make another comment when I do. But a quick Google and I find[0] that 25% of white children and 67% of black children are raised in single parent homes. That seems like a lot if

The other comment is correct. Another way to view it is at "Senior" you are able to keep yourself productive indefinitely. It is similar to journeyman in the trades but sounds fancier.

Senior in this context often means >5 years. So if you are 30 you typically count as senior. I believe ~50% of my >10k coworkers are senior or above.

It is definitely possible that it is just confounding variables, I don't know I haven't really looked into it. One thing I know is that if the correlation went the other way, it would be a good data point that the gender gap is cu

Which is a shame, because even though it makes sense, I am not sure it is true because it isn't debated.

Not op but since you asked, I will draw the conclusion. Given that we observe a larger gender gap in countries that are more gender equality we can conclude that when men and women feel more equal their choice of profession diverge.

Little late to the discussion so I am not sure this will be seen... I think I can change two works of your statement and make it a criticism of the Bay Area. From my perspective, I don't want to work in an environment where people are

I think part of the issue is the tactics. The original post was pointing out that the way that bad ideas are being defeated is through force, not through reason. If the law says "Be happy or else" everyone is "happy". Th
