On paper it should be an easy Trump win, but I suspect shenanigans.
This is the perfect place to ask people who are informed. Which agenda will take the win in November and why do you think they will?

That sounds like an issue with your company, and I agree that it should be fixed.
I don't see that sort of discrimination happening in companies I've worked for, especially considering as a white man I'm still being afforded opportunities, and I'm seeing well qualified individuals get hired when I do the interview process.
To call it wholly "anti-white" though is a stretch.
That is in all major tech companies. I've worked in major tech companies and my friends are mostly working in other major tech companies, everyone has the same stories. This is why I'm currently working in the IT department of a non-tech company.
If you want even more, 2 employers ago had training about how white people need to allow people of color to make mistakes.
If you want another story. The company I mentioned before, where I was doing interviews, had enough of the lack of diversity so they brought some Ahmeds from abroad on one of the teams. After a year or so the rest of the team found out that the Ahmeds where being payed considerably more then the rest, basically hat to pay well to diversify the team. This made most of the team leave.
Now on the other employer, they had to cut costs, several times. First I found it funny how it was all white men. Figured it was what ever, just happened. But this happened several time and then I looked at metrics. There where 2 blacks, a man and a woman, they had abysmal metrics. The equivalent of doing a week worth of work in about 2 month. However they got to stay while white men that did ok work, not the best but clearly better then this 2 got fired. The woman of the 2 was particularly toxic accusing anyone who said anything about her work as racists.
I mentioned before that white people where still by far the majority of team members but the discrimination was incredible. This was to highlight how you may not observe discrimination because you still see white people but in fact the discrimination is incredibly high.
My current employer seemed good up to now, nothing about diversity and inclusion and I did not notice any active discrimination. However they put an Indian (dot not feathers) in charge of one of the teams, in one year he filled the team with Indians while also pushing white guys out. Stuff like give hard tasks to white guys while also delaying them, not giving them permissions to do their tasks and not sharing information and then criticizing them for delays. Dividing the tasks among the other Indians in order to boost their metrics and even taking tasks from whites. The last guy on that team I brought him over to my team and currently coaching him.
Mm, not all, clearly.
Generally I think it's decent practice for managers to let their employees make mistakes no matter what color their skin. It's how people learn.
Sounds like the company you work for kind of sucks. I haven't had that issue at the major tech companies where I've worked, nor have I seen guys at their major tech companies complain so much on it.
See this just means you are not discussing in good fate. A clearly racist training, specific for "people of color" and you're only take is that it should be for everyone rather then it is racist. You seem delusional to the extreme where you stick your head in sand.
Honest to God, do you not believe white people, white men in particular are being discriminated in tech?
This is exactly how my first job ran, with my team of white males (and one middle eastern male who was an above average performer). We were given a long training regime and then our own projects where we largely looked after ourselves. Each of us made mistakes, as any new employee would. Nobody was ever reprimanded for it, if anything everyone came down and talked about their first time crashing one of the machines or busting the spindle or whatever. It's how people learn.
Yes, I believe that sort of training should be pretty normal. I don't think it's racist unless the training was "only allow black people to make mistakes. If white people make mistakes then punish them."
No, I do not.
Got another cool story.
A couple of friends of mine worked on a tech company, it was all in on diversity and shit. Imagine your ultimate DIE company where you have black females looking over and giving "advise". It was the typical leftist threw a ton of money at the employees, trips in exotic locations, bonuses etc.
It had a boom during covid and then they realized this company is going down hard, turns out all the DIE hires are entitled brats don't actually produce enough. They ended up ending 90% of their work force. Not even an exaggeration but actually had to let go 90% of their employees.
Turns out what remained is not exactly diverse. Fun stuff.
The 2 friends that worked there, both white, one guy and one girl. In her team he had one guy and I think 2 other women. Funny part was that one of the girls on that team was completely incompetent, she was used to getting guys to do stuff for her, she was above average looking. Turns out that the only guy was gay, and she was not even able to do easy tasks. Very comical overall. All this forced diversities can be entertaining if it does not affect you personally.
Cool story indeed! Sounds like their tech company sucks if they're hiring unqualified supervisors.
