seriously disgusted, done with this website and potentially industry, this shit pops up every thread and the other day the "anti-diversity" post was top voted. Done.

I guess nobody told you that /s indicates sarcasm.

Maybe emoji works better now days.

I agree 100%, the sooner people get over their petty tribal instincts the better. Unfortunately it's still a few generations away. We have made huge strides against racism, homophobia, sexism, etc. in the last couple of generations so I have hope.

>petty tribal instincts

If every tribe was equally intelligent and productive then indeed being tribal would be petty.

Are you seriously trying to suggest that sex and race has an influence on intelligence?

Sex? I'm not sure. Males tend to be both dumber and smarter: https://qph.ec.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-929b67e5b164c180d10d9e...

Race? This has been studied extensively. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KwMUlOoZIog/VOj9HtgsqLI/AAAAAAAAC2...

You don't think that social inequalities, access to education, and even nutrition has something to do with it?

Something to do with it? Yes. All of it? No.

I wouldn't let this stuff skew your view of the industry. If you're pro-diversity then nobody with hiring power anywhere you want to work is anti-diversity, so you don't need to care about the people who are.
