I usually don’t find it useful to respond to such anonymous negativity, but I’ll bite.
I like to think I’m aware of my privilege, being both male and white, as you have pointed out. And while maybe that played a tiny, subconscious role, I got the job because of the years of hard work honing my craft. Also Facebook has policies and practices in place to promote diversity and combat discrimination.
With that said, I understand and agree with your sentiment; I’m an ally. Next time, instead of voicing it with snark and negativity, use the opportunity to craft a thoughtful comment that comes from a place of shared understanding. You might get more traction.
