Fake news, I'm underrepresented and I never felt like one, I hate playing the minority card and I just focus on being a top performer. Some teams at Google cry all day specially non-eng folks playing the minority card because their work can't be quantified. So they mix up their lack of skills with race BS. I was a SWE and was actually pay very fairly for the work I did, that was my presentation card.

> I'm underrepresented and I never felt like one

What does this mean? That you don't feel like the race you actually are because you don't play the race card?

I hope I misread that and there is a more charitable explanation.

The most charitable interpretation would be something like "I'm underrepresented and I never felt like I was part of the out-group"

You cannot even say one interpretation is idealism and the other is realism because it is US pop culture bullshit. You notice because your remark has an added indignation.
