Google Drops a Key Program for Boosting Women in Tech

The most clear example of this was Indians flooding tech in the early 2000s. Like this was a few years after 9/11 when brown dudes with accents were facing crazy discrimination, but India had really strong STEM education and was turning out good programmers so they got jobs. If the industry blocked qualified individuals based on prejudice how the heck were middle eastern looking dudes killing it directly after 9/11?

And why doesn’t this belong here, exactly? Don’t you think it’s interesting to see how quickly all those companies rudder back their DEI stuff as soon as the weather gets a bit rough — the very same DEI stuff that supposedly was so important and central to their identity and mission just a few months ago?

Do you want to know what doesn’t belong here? Ad hominem attacks.

If you don’t share my opinion, attack me on the content of my post, not on my geographic location.

And yes, whether the US is going into the direction of becoming a fascist state or not is totally up to debate.

But I guess we can all agree: something changed since January.

And it’s interesting, and relevant data, to see which companies stand their previous ground, and which don’t.
