What diversity and inclusion means at Microsoft

What's "funny" about your comment is that there is no "white" race.

"Whiteness" was created in a Virginia 1691 law to be "not negroe and not indian". Naturally, that also expanded to be not: Jews, Asians, sometimes not Italians, usually not Irish, and absolutely no indigenous people of any sort.

Defining yourself by what peoples you exclude is the core kernel of racism. And that's what "white" means.

These poor tactics of rhetoric do not justify racism. I don’t believe this was an intellectually honest response.

There’s no race either. Asian is not a race and neither is white but I’m using the current designation society uses.
