Yup but still a poor attitude to have. I feel this way often times as a white male in tech, that they would rather hire literally anyone else if they can add some much desired "diversity" but I'm sure you would disagree that this is the case. Better for me to try anyways and have the best possible outlook even if I believe the cards are stacked against me.
>I feel this way often times as a white male in tech

Wait, you feel like you face structural oppression as a white man in tech?

Could you explain what challenges you face as a result of your gender identity and race?

The person you're replying to mentioned it in the post you quoted:

> "they would rather hire literally anyone else if they can add some much desired "diversity""

He feels like his applications are automatically deprioritized in favor of minorities.

I'm pretty sure the hiring numbers still show white men have it easier than all other groups. Even with "DEI" policies.

I'd be interested to see data that suggests otherwise.
