A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Jesus. The details are damning. This is not white Gen-Z'ers thinking they're post-racial so they can repeat the stuff they hear from black content creators (and of course, they're not and they shouldn't). This is pretty much old-school racism.

Also apparently not the first issue, or the second.

What (or who?) could create a corporate culture where racists would feel empowered to say anything they want without fear of repercussion?

Hmmm, maybe someone that built his fortune on Apartheid money?

Could it be....? 🤔
