this is from a week ago and maybe it was posted and i missed it but given the lengthy culture war skirmishes in the damore threads i don't think so. this one's from a recruiter at YouTube who says they had directions to cancel interviews with white and asian men in 2017 and later to cover up evidence of it

lawsuit is here (fairly short read): https://www.scribd.com/document/372...iate#from_embed

media summary here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/youtube-hiring-for-some-positions-excluded-white-and-asian-males-lawsuit-says-1519948013

i present with no comment on its merits or the merits of the alleged policies

edit: oops hosed up the title

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.
as a white man this seems like a perfectly sound move for a media company in whatever year it is/was given the current political climate of social strata cannibalism

Congratulations!

Your request for a status upgrade as been approved by the High Whitey Council(tm), and from this time forward, you racial status is now equal to that of a Lesser White(tm) (ie: the one of the likes of Italians, not excessively swarthy Mexicans or Eastern Europeans). It is my great pleasure to inform you you can now look down on Dark Browns(tm) (African Americans, Africans, Indians...) and Light Browns(tm) (South Americans, Arabs, Polynesians) however your status is still inferior to that of Great Whites(tm) (True Anglos, Germans...) so keep your place in mind.

I would also like to inform you that from now on, the sufferings your race experienced (discrimination, slavery, colonization, genocide, destruction of culture, wars, demeaning racial stereotypes, being nuked...) are now to be considered "in the past" because of your new Oppressor Status(tm).

Sincerely yours,
The High whitey Council

PS: the exact status of Filipinos is still subject to change as they have the "swarthy" and "catholic" status-lowering attributes.

critical race theorists (left, heavily marxist law types) have been on top of that for years by making up the idea that whiteness is a kind of property see eg: https://sph.umd.edu/sites/default/files/files/Harris_Whiteness%20as%20Property_106HarvLRev-1.pdf

for various reasons 'whiteness' does not match up with common legal definitions of property (there is no universal definition that can capture every aspect of property) but they needed some way to explain asians
