I haven't seen a black american hired in tech in a decade. The last black american I saw in tech, they hired an indian manager, and the black guy was the first guy he fired.
Since then the only black guy I saw hired turned out to be from a suburb in africa.
My experience is the beneficiaries are people with well off parents from other countries.
Or white women.
I'm sure there's studies. But logic dictates that nobody benefits, especially long term. Affirmative action and quotas are, inherently, a race to the bottom. And those that are supposed to 'benefit' will be seen as not adequate for whatever position they are in (even when they didn't get there through AA)
Sure...for the moment, I'm trying to stick to 1 topic personally.
I'm sure affirmative action / diversity screws over poor white people.
Does it even help poor black people from the US?
Their claim is basically "racism is ok because it helps groups with a history of oppression" but that doesn't even seem to be true.
Exactly...there's other stuff one would write pages on as well, but is black guy mark from the hood or white guy matt from trailer actually making it through harvard?
Seems like people making it through are going to be well off black americans who get in either way, or black people with well off parents from other countries.
