Sounds a bit like the "cultural fit" narrative that has been used by some FAANG companies to prefer people from certain ethnicities

Do you have any idea what you are talking about?

  • As someone who is seemingly not from a preferred racial demo, I know exactly what this person is talking about.

    • Really?

      Tech was predominantly white (as was the US) in the 70s, by the 90s Asians and Indians were over represented.

      I'll submit this is prima facie evidence that tech was (and is to some degree) highly meritocratic, and more so than any other large portion of the economy.
