This reads as very sarcastic but these policies are just as bad if not worse for Asian men as well at this point. It’s Asian men who are suing Harvard over it, not white men.

And to be frank many women, Latinos, and others have expressed their frustrations about this to me as well. These policies are inherently toxic and divisive.

There are two moral views that intersect here in this poster's views (which they are communicating subversively through sarcasm):

1. "It's perfectly okay to discriminate against people based on things they can't control"

2. Generational justice: "Current individuals of identity groups that were advantaged or had members do bad things in the past, totally deserve to be disadvantaged or have bad things done to them now"

I do not agree with those.

I think it’s hilarious that you think were all white men

I mean I don't think I ever implied that, but regardless I think we need to care about those who are most the disadvantaged with a certain level of priority.

> Very sorry for all the white men on here who are unjustly discriminated.

You did, in a way, assume that everybody here who’s upset is a white man. If you were truly unbiased you would have said “people” in place of “white men”

Rather than spending billions of dollars and hours sanitizing language we could use that energy and money towards solving real problems

My company now lumps asians with whites when talking about diversity, so it's not just white men that are impacted by this.

I think this is sarcasm. But I can’t tell anymore.

As a white guy with a really not white name, I will note that things seem to go better when I’m seen.

There seems to be a lot of complaints and outrage from people that have it pretty good.

There has been a number of cases with people using a francophone name vs. An anglophone or allophone name in Quebec yielding different success in initial hiring stages. People are tribal.

does this require a sarcasm tag or is this serious?

It's definitely sarcasm -- parodying "lean in" kind of advice

Everyone knows a great way to get anyone to give up powering willingly, is to make them feel more at risk and make fun of them for it

You're kidding but this is exactly the problem.

Boys are taught they are "toxic" and young women outperforms women academically and on the job. Women in their 20s make more than their male counterparts - and then they complain they can't find a male partner who earns more than them.

The media tells them "the future is female" and that their behaviour is "toxic masculinity"; meanwhile, men are the most likely to kill themselves, to become trans (which is itself linked with a high rate of suicide, with or without transition), to die in war, to die on the job.

I noticed that your other reply got flagged and disappeared. Funny how that works.

Insidious even.
