Frankly your limiting it to those people for that reason comes across as pretentious virtue signaling.

not going to bring them into a Twitter canoe here but folks like @ ericajoy and @ jkwade explicitly mentioned this before I made this thread. And no, I don't think it's pretentious virtue signaling to find new ways to include communities that have long been excluded from tech

What's virtue signaling isn't who you included it's who you pointedly skipped. There are a lot more white people who would like to move out of SF because of cost than people of color who would like to move to be around 'diversity'.

Why of the literally dozens of constituencies I mentioned are you triggered by the fact that I mentioned POC?

I'm trying to explain to you that by making something a racial thing when it isn't you sound ridiculous. But rather than understanding what I'm saying you're trying to accuse me of racism. Good luck getting taken seriously with that attitude.

Why do you think only between 2-7% of tech workers are Latino or 1-2% are African American despite them being close to 40% of California's population or 6% respectively?

I have a book suggestion for you. You can take it or leave it. But I hope you'll at least consider it.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K356517/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 …

Here's an insight: It's hard for white people like you to talk about race because people like you use a white person saying anything tangentially related to race as an excuse to accuse them of racism regardless of what they actually said. Like you just did.

I didn't accuse you of racism, and neither does that book. I hope you at least consider reading it. And also I'm biracial, not white.
