yes, let's just let the KKK and Nazis go unchallenged that'll show them.

come back at me the next time you've had someone call you a "chink" and tell you to "go back home" when you already are.

better yet, come back at me when you can explain why Heather Heyer had to *die*

i'm a fan of freedom of speech. FOR ALL. nazis and racists actively work to deny the freedom of speech of people of color. if you actually believe in freedom of speech, there is NO ROOM for racists who silence folks of color through violence and intimidation. it's the paradox of tolerance.

Naziism and racism is not "speech" - it's an assault on human beings and should be stopped.

no they're not. explain to me how supporters are blocked from sending this guy checks or cash. or sending whoever the attorney is checks or cash. answer: they're not.

also explain to me why GoFundMe et al should be forced to facilitate the funding of a murderer? answer: why the fuck should they be?

one of the references is a sociology paper that does not back his conclusion, and the other references are cites to Wikipedia. give me a break.

you still don't get it. this rant called women "neurotic" and "anxious". that by itself created a hostile work environment towards women. Google was forced to act, and they were right in firing him.

you're kidding, right? all of page four. bald, sexist assertions. no citations to, well, anything. here, i'll help:

Personality differences

Women, on average, have more:

• Openness directed towards feelings and aesthetics rather than ideas. Women generally also have a stronger interest in people rather than things, relative to men (also interpreted as empathizing vs. systemizing).
  • These two differences in part explain why women relatively prefer jobs in social or artistic areas. More men may like coding because it requires systemizing and even within SWEs, comparatively more women work on front end, which deals with both people and aesthetics.
• Extraversion expressed as gregariousness rather than assertiveness. Also, higher agreeableness.
  • This leads to women generally having a harder time negotiating salary, asking for raises, speaking up, and leading. Note that these are just average differences and there’s overlap between men and women, but this is seen solely as a women’s issue. This leads to exclusory programs like Stretch and swaths of men without support.
• Neuroticism (higher anxiety, lower stress tolerance).
  • This may contribute to the higher levels of anxiety women report on Googlegeist and to the lower number of women in high stress jobs.

all of this is pseudoscientific bs backed by nothing.

of which this "memo" is sorely lacking.

except the whole sections on "male" vs. "female" traits are WHY Google fired him. he outright asserted, based on no proof or bad science, that women have "more anxiety" and are somehow biologically not suited to be engineers.

he created a hostile work environment with this one part alone. of COURSE Google has to fire him. what woman would be willing to work with such a toolbox?

precisely stated, what the Immigration and Nationality Act states is: "Except as specifically provided in paragraph (2) and in sections 101(a)(27), 201(b)(2)(A)(i), and 203, no person shall receive any preference or priority or be discriminated against in the issuance of an immigrant visa because of the person's race, sex, nationality, place of birth, or place of residence."

"Paragraph 2" talks about the per-country quotas. 101(a)(27) is for "Special Immigrants" (think unaccompanied minor refugees). 201(b)(2)(A)(i) sets aside visas immediately for spouses, children, and parents of U.S. citizens (if parents, the U.S. citizen has to be 21 or older - anchor babies are a myth). 203 outlines preference categories for family members and employment-based cases.

so, for at least persons seeking immigrant visas (looking to live in the U.S. permanently), Congress has said that the government cannot discriminate against immigrants on the basis of race, nationality, and/or place of birth, except under the sections specifically broken out.

Trump's problem is that he publicly stated the ban is against "muslims" and against persons of specific nationalities or places of birth. he is on record both pre-campaign and during presidency.

the INA DOES permit the government to bar persons who will cause harm to the U.S. from entering. but that is an entirely different issue than what the Trump admin is doing here.

the market is terrible for this. it results in gougers like Martin Shkreli. or the deplorables running EpiPen. capitalism demands making an immediate profit in the short term with no care for the long term - the absolute opposite of what health care should be about.

this is a troll. you have two glaring grammar errors in your own sentence. 3/10, go practice on Reddit or something.

the problem is that economic conditions are now forcing people to MAKE this their full time job. and severe cuts to healthcare and the general safety net are tightening the screws, not to mention the steamroller of automation coming down the pike. 1099 work might have been fine at one point, but it is NOW becoming a capitalists' wet dream and a regular worker's worst nightmare.

it's not slippery at all. the crux of the problem is that white folks don't understand what racism is and refuse to listen when it's pointed out. this isn't a disagreement, it's white people refusing to listen. you even insert the exact strawman of people "attacking" folks who are pro-equality. it is still entirely possible for someone who believes in racial equality to do racist things.

the mere fact that my first post got modded as a troll is evidence of this: the naive libertarian element on Slashdot is unwilling even to lend an ear, to be empathetic and sympathetic for once. that is the point: LISTEN. shut up and LISTEN.

maybe instead of barreling on like a bull in a china shop, stop, listen, then respond.

and very likely, as soon as you or anyone else sees this post, they will immediately respond with a load of "b-b-b-b-b-b-but #NotAllWhites!" or similar. THAT'S NOT THE POINT. pause before you respond. consider what people are saying FIRST before typing or speaking. that's literally it.
