They are looking to fill tech positions within their organizations. An email went out pointedly stating to do not forward to cisgender males, in other words straight white males. I wonder if the ACLU would take this case???

My white-as-the-driven-snow husband finds that South Asians outnumber whites in tech. I'm multiracial and have noticed the same.

It should be based on merit without regard to race, but you're talking about the DNC here - is it really a shocker? I'd be surprised if they didn't pull that nonsense.

Fake news I have literally never met a single democrat who said white people should not work in tech.

*Sigh*

If overt racism from Dems wasn't so common already I'd be more outraged than I am. At this point I'm more just disappointed that Dems have remained (whether we're talking about southern Dem slave owners or segregationists or modern day Dem racists) so blatantly racist, fighting efforts at true inclusion since the party has been in existence. Of course, don't expect any major outrage expressed by the MSM as the discrimination here in this case is not against an ethnic/racial minority group What a disgrace that party is. Crap like this is exactly why this party will continue to struggle in the Mid West and among whites (why vote for a party that is openly hostile against you for being you?).

It's true about the high tech sectors are less diverse and dominated by white men.

If no one you personally know said it, then no one ever said it?
Brilliant.

So because you personally (one individual) have not witnessed this, that means it never occurred? Wow, pretty elitist of you to be all knowing. I'm not saying it happened, but still.........


Guess you hang out at Garden of the GODS a lot, huh?

Note, this includes many registered white Democrats who don't actually vote Democrat, certainly not at the presidential level in any case. For instance, Democrats have long outnumbered Republicans in states like Arkansas, North Carolina, West Virginia, and many other southern/conservative states. But to put many of these Democrats (which includes many white registered Dems) in the same category as the general Democrat Party is ridiculous.
