You have to be joking. This is sarcasm, right?
As a programmer, I just care that you write good code. In fact, I might as well be interacting with your mind across the internet, and don't even have to look at you in the face, and we will be collaborating just fine.
Why does it matter for someone who deals with 0's and 1's what the color of the skin of your coworker is? Once again, if you're a programmer and you're swimming in abstractions and code, my coworker might as well be a robot, and I could give two shits.
For them their ideology comes first, and professionalism is only worth it when it can be applied to meet their political goals.
Never had problems working with people from all around the world, but if there is a bunch I would never consciously hire it is SJ activists.
It seems crazy to me that someone would have to explain this on a public forum.If you are a white male I'm sure it might be hard for you to understand why race, gender, and class matter and how they intersect with your life, your work, and that of your colleagues.
STOP WITH THIS BULLSHIT
If you contribute to an open source product under then name 'anotherc', nobody cares if you are black, white, pink, male or female. All they will care about is the quality of your code
Likewise at work, all that people should care about is the quality of your work, and being respectful of others.
IF YOU THINK SOMEONES RACE MATTERS YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM
Show me a discrete situation where this results in bad decision making on my side, and I'll change my behavior.
You could pick any societal construct or experience and say it doesn't matter to you. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
You could say money is just paper and ones and zeros in a database so you shouldn't have to use it but you are deluding yourself.
Money justifies itself because it allows trade and therefore specialization of individuals. Its required for the technological progress we already done.
Same goes with Companies, Math, or most Science things.
Race is used by people who want to discriminate (independent of direction) or seek justification by victim-hood (and everything derived). Both are harmful behaviors. I will not support that.
