Do you honestly think you'd even get to where you are if you were, say, black?

Do you think you'd want to be a part of such a hostile crowd who assumes less of your ability and that none of your credentials are deserved due to handouts?

Opinions like yours always baffle me. Since a black person may or may not have had it worse? Should I be grateful? Contrite? Apologetic?

>>ikeyan+(OP)
That one group has it worse does not invalidate the lived experience of another group.

He said his whiteness hurt his employability.

>>oceang+d2
How about not saying things like whiteness holding back your career?

That was one reason he gave. I agree it's a poor one: being white in this country does not hurt employability in general, or in the tech industry.

However being over 40, having a family, and having experience certainly all can be detrimental.

No denying that here.
