I'm gonna guess you're a person who was never the subject of discrimination and racism and sexism and now you're complaining that the subjects are that are being offended.

Was that a right guess?

Totally right.

I have experienced encounters which as a stereotypical white tech-bro I can only chalk up to me being an asshole, not having enough tact with people and/or tech skills for that particular domain, but could equally be explained as racism or discrimination if I was part of a protected class.

I don't have a problem with people being offended by the way, I have a problem with this self-reinforcing positive feedback loop of virtue-signaling our industry seems to be in.

Do you think it's your place then, to tell people that they should just deal with it and continue making money for who they're working for when you can never really know what's it like to be subject to that on a day to day basis?
