The initiatives pushed in this article are themselves discriminatory. For example YouTube was sued because they were not hiring Asian or white men and fired someone for still interviewing them. That is discrimination, regardless of the goal, which was presumably to increase the amount of women or specific ethnicities. More diversity in tech is great sure, but not if it means racial and sexist discrimination.

I think we should have completely race and gender blind hiring and promotions. That enough is something someone that cares about equity is against, is it not? Being against equity, which is equal outcomes regardless of input, does not imply one is discriminating people by race or gender or harassing people.
