nope, because companies will still only hire diversity candidates which usually means cheap Indian labour and the occasional local black.

My company over 50% are Indians but they still keep banging in the drum about not being diverse enough. I think only about 20% of developers were actually born in the country.

My company was not all that diverse when I started. Now, they've explicitly outlined a diversity initiative and I see a lot more colorful faces around. Because of that, and unfortunately for them, I'm going to assume they're all diversity hires until proven otherwise.

The way it works in SJ:

look for evidence of racism and sexism.
If you don’t find it, you’re not doing it right.
Point to the oppression you “found”, run in circles, scream and shout
Profit
