Reply to comment by Rtn2NYC in US transparency laws trigger disputes over pay disparities by Daddy_Macron

There two groups of people thdt hate the new salary disclosure rules. The people thdt were getting away with getting over on others and the bitter thdt are mad that now they see what they should of made but were too scared to stand up for themselves.

Now if you're Black or a woman this law is great. I had an agency offer me $185k for a role I know was worth $220k with my level of experience. I turned it down so imagine my amusement when I see it on LinkedIn at the price it should of been.

Reply to NYC teachers union’s workshop on ‘harmful effects of whiteness’ canceled after influx of ‘hate’ by someone_whoisthat

As a non-White person, the amount of self-hating White progressives is insane to me. Why can't they respect other cultures and build them up without attack themselves? You don't need to attack White people to respect Black people or Hispanics or Asians or whatever.

Respect and cultural/racial tolerance are not a zero sum game. The second we start saying any group is "harmful", we start heading down a dark path of elevating others above each other because of their skin color or ethnic heritage.

Honestly, this is the stuff that makes me wonder if I need to plan to have my kids attend private school the entire way. A large chunk of the public school system seems to care more about this than getting kids to up standard in reading, writing, and math.

It's a term created by super progressive white people who then told Hispanic people that it's the proper term for them. Coupled with the fact that X doesn't really work for Spanish speakers and you have a classic example of white people bullshit.

There a few studied out there about how the majority of the Hispanic community either doesn't know about the term or don't care for it at all.

I work in advertising and had to present a write up on the term. Half my team is Hispanic, bunch of Dominicans and a Cuban and they all hate the term.

Edit: Cause I know where I got my data from:
