> you are less valuable to me as i have lots of your type of voice already
But you didn't wait to hear my voice. You didn't let me open my mouth. You turned me down on how I looked not what I had to say. You don't know anything about what life experience I have and what unique points of view I can bring you.
> And to be clear every issue you have diverse candidates have plus loads more.
Nobody is openly, legally and systematically denying them the opportunity to prove themselves capable of a job based on the color of their skin. If they're denied based on the color of their skin they can challenge that in the courts. I can't.
> I think there are probably enough jobs in tech for everyone though..
