From people who're usually all about the feels

“Google is not a space where employees should be able to express and share whatever feelings they may have, regardless of how it affects others,” Shevinsky wrote.
And what set this off(aside from their usual 'Fall into line, comrades!)?
“Distribution of preferences and abilities of men and women differ in part due to biological causes and that these differences may explain why we don’t see equal representation of women in tech and leadership,” he wrote.
Cue screams of "BURN THE HERETIC!!"   Along with blaming him for thing he didn't say:
Entrepreneur Elissa Shevinsky wrote on blogging website Medium that speech “questioning the technical qualifications of people based on race or gender” could fall under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin.
He did NOT 'question their tech qualifications based on race or gender', but why let that inconvenient fact get in the way?  Much better to signal your virtue by wanting to destroy hinm.

Of course, Google's also busy making deals with the PRC to screw anyone who wants to be able to blog without winding up in a reeducation camp(or dead, or both), so maybe they're too busy to think clearly.


Which brings me to the next example for today of 'progressive' thought:
Bottom line: When life, wellness, and happiness are at stake, Black, Indigenous and People of Color have a right to gather without white people in order to address issues that are important to them.

Or even just to gather socially without the fear or inconvenience of having to worry about whether white people will insult them or act awkward.

Similarly, darker-skinned BIPOC may also desire spaces where they can process and organize around the unique issues they face because of their closer proximities to Black and Indigenous skin tones and facial features and (here it is)that us lighter-skinned people do not have to worry about.
Yep.  The whole thrust of this piece is "Yes, yes, you're a Person of Color, but you're not colored ENOUGH, so you don't have the real problems, so maybe you should stay out of People of Color Spaces."

You think I'm kidding?
And every time I have been a part of putting together or attended such a gathering, the issue of whether very light-skinned or white-passing BIPOC should attend has come up.

At the very least, people have expressed annoyance that white-passing people seem to feel entitled to BIPOC spaces and/or get upset if someone questions whether they are BIPOC.
Apparently one of the newest ways to separate people is 'Black, Indigenous, and People of Color'.  Because in woke culture, you've got to have proper ways to separate people out so you can figure out just how to treat them.

This mess includes people who aren't actually whateverthehell PoC they claim to be, 'but how should we treat them since it's not good to question someone's personal identification?', and on and on.

Freakin' amazing, isn't it?
