Re:Google cancelled a talk on caste bias by api on Thursday June 02, 2022 @09:38AM (#31594715)
I've thought for a long time that woke could get actual traction by being more woke and extending the concept of "-isms are not okay" to include American caste and regional elitisms and classism that isn't about race.

A course on recognizing bias against lowland Southerners would be funny but not wrong or inappropriate and you'd see plenty of rich coastal fragility on display.

Classism and regionalism are absolutely huge in this country, especially when those on the receiving end are not in a racial minority.

But what would people do if there were no easily identifiable out groups to stereotype and mock?
