Racial discrimination in Tech is still a problem

I see thi got deleted; was it because someone got offended or defensive about human rights? I'm going to risk burning some social capital and share what I wrote in response to the original post:

This is an important topic that too many want to hide from or claim isn't a problem. To not get mired in defensiveness, I acknowledge that my forebears/progenitors, probably not limited to those in the South of the USA, at least discriminated against Black people (and anyone else there was pressure to other; I don't try to ignore or erase this, but to do what I can do in my control, including asking what someone means when they say "them" (oozing pointed meaning, but I play ignorant and ask), working to learn my own implicit biases (there are helpful online tests for this, some used in some police departments, for example, as a start), and reading outside my comfort zone to unmask "unknown unknowns" rather than sit in my otherwise-calcifying tower.

Each of us, regardless of where we came from or what harm we've done, has the power to practice kindness and compassion (and so many other positives, like open awareness, acceptance of differences, curiously working towards understanding, noticing the merits of the many forms of diversity, etc)

> Miley recalls an example: After building one diverse engineering team, he interviewed inside Google for the opportunity to run another. At the time, Miley was overseeing a group of 200 engineers, product managers, tech writers and program managers and responsible for all of Google Cloud's documentation and website infrastructure and he had developed a reputation for his work in inclusion and equity.

> In the interview, Miley was asked by a senior engineering director if he would refuse to hire a white male computer science student from Stanford if the team were not diverse enough. The question made Miley so uncomfortable that he removed himself from the interview process and reported the conversation to senior leadership.

This stands from the rest of the article. Without knowing more about the conversation and context, it doesn't seem like something that should be reported just based on that question?
