I've seen a little discussion about this tweet, so here's an expansion. This is in reference to a garbage heap of a dude that a friend told me about. They're both in a university physics dept, a field with a long history of issues in equity and inclusion across gender and race.

From what my friend told me, this dude's views are yikes for two major reasons: 1. He implies that people of color and white women were inherently less qualified and only hired to make the department look diverse...

...and 2. He implies that non-white non-men are a monolith, when in fact white women benefit hugely from white privilege, and there's a lot of other facets of identity that can come with advantages or disadvantages, too.

Without context, my original tweet also sounds a bit glib and monolith-y. Sorry about that, and thanks to the rad people who stepped up with expansions before I did!

And you should pay people extra for in addition whatever work they are hired for they are there to change the culture.

I can confirm that is the way a lot of male academics respond to women being hired for academic positions. I’ve had it said before to my face that a female colleague was probably only hired because she’s a woman.
