There were claims that the last round significantly impacted folks working on some critical intersectional across race / ethnicity / gender identity type programming.

There were some articles about the layoffs last time and the major backlash that resulted. Protocol covered this, noting "Protocol identified at least 40 people from marginalized backgrounds who lost their jobs in the latest round of cuts."

Interestingly, as I read this Meta announcement a settlement on similar discrimination claims:

"Discrimination in housing, employment and credit is a deep-rooted problem with a long history in the US, and we are committed to broadening opportunities for marginalized communities in these spaces and others," Roy Austin Jr., Meta's vice president of civil rights, wrote in a blog post.
