Comment on Men Overran a Job Fair for Women in Tech
agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 1 year agoIt’s more like acknowledging that under such a system of selective advantages, many underprivileged demographics slip through the cracks because they’re not one of the vogue disadvantaged demographics. You’re left with towering historic advantages, surrounded by a hierarchy of new trendy advantages, rising in proportion to the power of their advocacy groups. That’s not a level playing field, it’s a city skyline.

A step in the right direction for those with well-funded advocacy groups. For those without, it’s a further step in the wrong direction. Either demographic-based discrimination by private entities is a problem or out isn’t. You don’t get to morally vindicate selective bias because it was biased in your favor this time. Eliminate the bias.
