Interesting, the DIE VP pushing all of this crap is an Indian woman.
What is going on with Indian women? So many of them seem to be crazy woke leftists, even worse then white women.
Everytime something like this is seen they should sue to at least tie them up in court. Just keep taking them to court.
And they wonder why western gaming has taken a nose dive
Ubisoft is French and the EU allows for discrimination as long as it is against the natives. It was decided by the EU version of Supreme Court.
However, the mentorship is opened to US but I doubt anyone will sue. Most organization are pro-discriminating against men or white people and individuals aren't likely to sue a company over a mentorship.
I need the ruling/source on that, because I am very curious and my Polish wife would love to have more fuel for her nationalist fire.
This was a case where positive discrimination was supported: https://archive.is/DFAUw
Here is the principle of indirect discrimination:

"indirect-discrimination" basically just advocates for affirmative action.

This 2 are sketchy, I can't confirm them :
Case C-415/10, Brüstle v. Deutsche Telekom AG (2011): In this case, the ECJ considered the impact of affirmative action measures in the context of employment. The case involved a claim by a male employee who felt disadvantaged because of a company policy favoring women for certain promotions. The ECJ reaffirmed that affirmative action measures must be proportionate and targeted towards addressing underrepresentation, and they must not result in undue discrimination against individuals who do not benefit from such measures. The Court emphasized the need to balance the aims of affirmative action with the principles of equal treatment.
Case C-407/15, Vassallo v. Banca Popolare di Milano (2016): This case involved a claim where an employee argued that affirmative action policies favoring certain groups resulted in discrimination against him. The ECJ ruled on the compatibility of such measures with EU anti-discrimination laws. The Court held that while affirmative action measures are permitted under EU law, they must be carefully designed to achieve the intended goals without disproportionate adverse effects on others.
