One would hope an amazing company that doesn't cover it's ass when it turns out the executive couldn't give a hoot about the treatment of black people and now everyone knows
Notwithstanding, such a position places zero restrictions on doing the same with your own money..but corporations make for more interesting headlines than the individuals that run them.
That is clearly false, given the evidence collected by the Times, which shows an extensive pattern of racist conduct.
To get a complete view, surely you need data from Asians, Indians and other minorities.
Like, I'm not sure how to clarify this further. Being racist against only a specific race or races is very much still racism (sort of by the definition, isn't it).
I'm also uneasy about letting black people speak for other POCs on this issue. In my experience, racists tend to be racist towards multiple or all other races rather than a single one -- hence why you dismissing other POCs views on it doesn't make sense to me.
Less than 1% is not "extensive" by anyone's metric, either.
I don't see back people speaking for other poc. I see black people speaking about their own experiences, and you discounting those experiences because they may not be shared by other poc.
It also seems strange to me that you believe racism is always cross-cultural. The causes of anti-black, anti-middle eastern, and anti-asian discrimination by americans are all different, why do you assume they'd be the same. Things get even more complicated when you add other cultures to the mix. You presumably don't discount caste discrimination against one caste because the others didn't experience it, so why presume that someone who is prejudiced against black people must also be prejudiced against asians?
While there is racism against asian people in tech in the bay, it's usually model minority related things, or language based (or there are other kinds but less common in a workplace context). Less about being unqualified, and more about being different. It wouldn't at all surprise me if the multiracial leadership team of coinbase set the culture such that certain forms of prejudice (that affect the leadership) were not allowed, while certain forms of prejudice (that perhaps the leadership shares, or perhaps they are simply ambivalent about) can fester.
you run a company and tell people they will feel included and then they face discrimination... well your house is on fire, you are the leadership and decide not to use you position to do anything
but yeah let’s make it zero sum and say that looking after the investor means that we can treat black people with some decency
BS
