Aren't engineering offices populated with such people? Is that at issue at all?

This page seems to support the statement: https://www.zippia.com/engineer-jobs/demographics/

The statement is absolutely true but the people who have bought into the Woke Mind Virus nonsense are going to cry about it anyway. And then they will use some other statistics that they think will be a justification for making racist statements without understanding why one thing is racist and the other thing isn.

Have you considered that there might instead be a consistent, principled objection towards injecting the author's personal stereotypes of random ethnic groups? A 5 word aside that takes the discussion from analysis corporate culture towards people complaining about other hypothetical people who complain about the "Woke Mind Virus" seems both toxic and ineffective.

I have not, nor do I care to entertain that line of thinking.

There are resolutely principled people of all kinds.

What is your basis for saying it is “absolutely true” that the loud, strongly-held opinions this author is railing against, come mostly from white males? I’m guessing just your personal observation.

Would you be shocked to learn my experience has been different?
