if google (apprently actually the youtube division?) actually said not to hire white and asian dudes for a quarter that is quite illegal, and if they fired him for complaining that it was illegal that is also quite illegal. odds are good that is not what happened but if it is i can certainly imagine why they’d be desperate to cover it up

it's pretty remarkable how the people who get though the job interview process are the optimal choice for the position and not merely "good enough" (if they're a white dude)
and of course if the person hired is not a white dude, well then they're always a diversity hire and not even "good enough"

There's a post I love in AI where a guy says that because he's a tech guy and a manager, he's probably better at the janitor's job than the janitor himself, at least better than the average person

white people who complain about affirmative action say college admissions should be based purely on grades, up until they are told about the UC system. suddenly lots of them decide it's important for college admissions to represent the ethnic makeup of the general population :allears:

"semi qualified" is pretty optimistic when it comes to tech, since there are literally no standards.

i have a job because i'm white, and nonthreatening, and i can carry a conversation and shake a hand. most of the rest of it is incidental really.

zuck and everbody else are doing it so why not

i mean most of their "innovation" and pedagogy only applies well to math or a couple other pet areas, but who needs anything else?

its a bunch of people who hate humanities trying to remake schools in their grand power hungry vision, and they'll have no shortage of humanities-hating fans

its also a good example of the antidemocratic effects of liberal capitalism in action

it also gives them the bonus of

1) the psuedo-egalitarian actions they crave, "doing something for others"
2) they get to remake schools in a vision of the way they think they should have experienced school to begin with, a vision arrived at later in life based on how they experienced their adulthood success

its like parents living vicariously though their children, except they want to live vicariously through everyone's children
