>For all I've seen "non-white non-male" is generally given priority in all kinds of areas, certainly in start-up interest. It's considered "hip" to associate with these "non-white non-male" groups, irregardless of their actual performance in whatever area they were prioritized. (To a certain extent at least, they can't be completely nonperforming) Being able to show that you have included these groups in whatever way your organization works, gives you advantages in press situations foremost, but also in other ways such as meeting arbitrary quotas set by higher-ups and HR dept.s in your organization.

I'm guessing...videos leaked from inside factory farms.

Guess again:

> 1) Non-white non-males are given less ability to grow in the "STEM/Entrepreneurship" fields as students and/or children by society.

> 2) White men are able to outperform those other groups by some inherent quality.

> Nevertheless, 1) seems to be partially disproved

Unless I misread, the claim that is being made here is "white males are inherently superior"

That was my take!

I think stirfish was being sarcastic about factory farms and probably reached the same (scary) conclusion.

To me it's more likely due to not being able to see reality is more nuanced than 2 options.
