displaced person, or living under apartheid

Hmmmm, I wonder which specific groups are excluded by omission on these forms and are currently being displaced from business in their own homelands?

So when I check other and put in "white man" I assume I'm immediately listed to be the first to the gulag?

We were always going to be first in the gulag. That has been abundantly clear for years now.

Someone needs to bring these criteria to scotus. Discrimination by omission is still discrimination.

The trick is to "identify" as these things. You don't necessarily need to "be" anything :)

Well, it does say "identify" and everyone knows only a bigot wouldn't see you as something you identify with

At this point, why not save some time and simply write down "Straight white Christian man" instead of 10 different check boxes.

Technically the straight white atheist men are also verboten from the grant too

Pretty sure that would be covered by "non-abrahamic" faiths?

The grant specifically says that it's intended for "under-represented" communities. First sentence in the page reads:

The Draknek New Voices Puzzle Grant is a grant opportunity for game developers from traditionally underrepresented groups and backgrounds who are interested in designing and developing puzzle games.

Basically: "Straight white Christian men need not apply"

so basically something they can skinner box the hell out of and put on the apps stores...

The achievements of these people can only ever be considered impressive when there are no White Men around to compare them to.

Living under apartheid? Like a time traveller?

– altmehere 7 points 1 year ago +7 / -0

That was my first thought too. Apparently, some people now use the term to refer to Palestinians living in the West Bank.

Or maybe they're just "disabled, neurodiverse, or mental health issues." Actually scratch that, they're definitely retarded.

What are etc. peoples? Also aren't English native to England? Would that apply? Judging by the list you don't have to be a citizen of US to qualify so a native German agnostic would qualify for 2,6 and probably 7 and 10

It would be fun to watch them short circuit if they received one with:

I am both annoyed as a Muslim to be lumped in with Jews while simultaneously being segregated from Christians.

Also offended that my Super Straight sexuality isn't listed. Yet another case of discrimination.
