If the medicine has more side effects than the indication, it might be time for an honest review.

In my experience there is little discrimination in tech. I am located in Europe and maybe other factors apply. But here you could be a raccoon and if you have an affinity for tech, you can almost get the job you like.

edit: On the contrary, I think these talk about discrimination drives people away, but I hold back my criticism because I think people mean well.

Yes, fashionable in that suggesting we live in a deeply unequal society(not true) shows that you're one of the "good guys". Its just a social signal and at this point people have been hearing/saying it for so long that most probably believe people should be judged by the color of their skin, rather than your personality.

What made you think I am dismissive of "the push for racial equality"?
