I know, I posted before, you mention "white privilege". In one of our annual faculty training meetings, we were told that [effectively] all white males are guilty of micro-aggression, ie, racism/discrimination, even if they don't know it/don't intend it. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it....While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it" - Judge Learned Hand, May 1944 | |||

"I'm pursuing meritocracy!" - If that gets you in hot water with HR ... then it's HR that is racist. | |||

You could consider 'The Golden Rule' "Treat others as you would like others to treat you." ...the Golden Rule has been around for centuries and can be "found in some form in almost every ethical tradition" --Tom The right of self preservation, in turn, was understood as the right to defend oneself against attacks by lawless individuals, or, if absolutely necessary, to resist and throw off a tyrannical government. | |||

Here's the answer I'd provide: I will continue to my my job in the best possible manner. The revenue generated as a result of my individual and team effort will continue to allow me and my fellow employees to earn an honest living while enjoying a diversity of opinion on matters, such as the silly nature of this question. | |||

You must be a white male.  I don't worry about it, as with selogic, I am retired. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

We've been forced to sit through an "implicit bias" webinar, led by an expert in the subject, where I learned that apparently I'm a racist, sexist, anti-LGBTQ Visigoth without even knowing it. I also learned that there's REALLY good money to be made by perpetuating the idea that everyone is a racist, sexist, anti-LGBTQ Visigoth if you're an "expert in the subject" who can peddle that crap to the .gov and lead webinars preaching it for thousands of dollars, to employees who are forced to sit through it. I'm pretty sure that one of those lessons is more valuable than the other. | |||

Mrs. Mike is an HR professional and she says this is the right answer..... I said it sounds like a kid who has to reach the number of words in his writing assignment. BTW, that is a genius answer. I would most likely get fired for my answer. “I will endeavor to persevere “ comes to mind. "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.” Robert A. Heinlein “You may beat me, but you will never win.” sigmonkey-2020 “A single round of buckshot to the torso almost always results in an immediate change of behavior.” Chris Baker | |||

Holy catfish! I knew there were advantages to being self-employed, but I obviously had no clue. My reply would doubtless get me fired, “I will endeavor to diversify my employment to a position that is not inclusive of this ridiculous feline feces.” This nonsense is far below either feces of the male of the bovine species or feces of the equine species. Truthfully, it may even be below feces of the feline species. | |||

Good point. Invent a "problem", then make $$$ to solve the problem you invented. (I believe much of the global warming movement is the same thing.) "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

I will reduce my whiteness by no longer being on time or showing up reliably . I understand these are micro and macro aggressions which I have been displaying. Probably better to just repeat "I don't understand the question " | |||

Thank goodness I was self-employed for twenty years, in the trucking business no less. No PC attitudes required. Now I work in the office of a trucking company as the accounting manager. Not a day goes by that I don't hear something that would make a SJW melt down. If I got asked a question like the OP, I'd walk out that day. Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||

Sad for you that you do accounting. Accountant's aren't allowed to have personality or social skills (ask my wife, she married one )But I thought of another possible answer. Claim you are a cousin to Senator Elizabeth Warren. That should give you a free pass. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

I was just told to produce a documented list of every instance of "non-inclusive" language in all of our source code repositories and documentation. Three generations of server products going back to 2009. We have been using the Philips I2C standard since the first products we every build. Every single one of them has source code that uses the "master/slave" nomenclature. I have to document a file name and line number for every instance. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? For what? You think we're going to change code and re-compile drivers for 10 year old products? And you think our customers want this? You think we're going to re-test 10 year old system? This shit is out of control. They want it all changed to "primary/subordinate". I got a big long list of language that can't be used. Blacklist is out, but "black screen" is ok. Who the fuck is making these rules? _________________________ You do NOT have the right to never be offended. | |||

Obviously, someone(s) who is/are not a coder. Tell them you can't find any. Let them find them, and do the work to "fix" them. If they persist, tell them it's a ridiculous requirement and the company can't afford the time or the money to do what they ask. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

Just tell them all code comes down to a 1 or a 0, have them find the discrimination. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

Just today I was importing some data and I pulled it into a table I named import-master. Guess I have to redo it and spend another half day reimporting. The chances of that happening are zero. | |||
