Re:ESR: Slaves to speech suppression are masters of nothing by NPMaxwell on Thursday September 13, 2018 @11:28AM (#17979366)
One challenge is that there is so much distressing input for black people (and immigrants etc.) that, if you get started, where would you stop? "Don't get me started" is a real thing. A second challenge is that, as a black person, it feels like you're only just barely succeeding at passing in the Tech world. If you highly your blackness, you risk disrupting your success at getting people to see you as a coder first.
