I find it funny that the OP left Kumail Nanjiani out of the pic for Silicon Valley. Erasing a minorities role in the show just to fit your agenda is exactly what I would have expected from this article. I mean really, you gotta keep those white males are evil stereotypes flowing by being completely disingenuous to your stated cause right off the bat. It is also hilarious that the example pic of an “inclusive” space at Code Liberation’s workshop is all white people. How very progressive of them.
segregation is inclusion
war is peace
freedom is slavery
Frankly it is people like the OP that are creating more of a divide in the tech space than there ever was without them interjecting their politics, which will only result in people feeling as though they belong even less to the majority group. Thus disenfranchising those that may have actually entered the industry. Which I suppose is a great career plan, feeding the very beast you claim to fight.
And yeah, do you know what makes someone feel marginalized? Being excluded from events and groups on purpose. So since you are pushing to exclude white straight males from these events, you are marginalizing white straight males. And if you have the power to exclude and marginalize white straight males, then who is the one that is actually in power, because it doesn’t appear to be the “patriarchy”. So by taking a page from your own book OP, that means white males should now be allowed to create their own “safe spaces”, since they are now marginalized and unwelcome by you and your group. Which brings us to the end result of your segregation idiotics, as it will give a perfect excuse for white only groups to exist, by using your own racist and sexist rules against you. Good job!
Oh wait, or is this yet another case of rules for thee but not for me? Honestly, don’t even bother answering that, somehow I am sure everyone already knows the answer.
