Please don't respond to a bad comment by breaking the site guidelines yourself. That only makes things worse.

The site was down for maintenance and I couldn't quite edit to get out what I wanted.

(Usually that means we're restarting the server, which usually takes about 15 seconds to turn over. Just FYI for the future)

There are huge numbers of white, Indian, and Asian men working in tech. Why do you think white men are considered stale?

Search for the phrase. Apparently Asians are now white in the telling of these people.

I'm pointing out the inherent racism in these efforts in practice.

The only really positive thing I saw was hiring more from HBCU's.

But that crowd never pointed out white people were underrepresented in tech. And that lots of the black people they claimed they were helping by hiring were actually Pacific Islanders, African immigrants and second generation African immigrants rather than ADOS that they claimed to be helping
