"The program assists students in increasing their awareness of issues encountered by minority students in a predominantly white institution through conversations with current graduate students of color and with one another"

What happened to just fucking studying and treating people based on individual merits, not skin color? God American universities are lost

I can't take anything seriously from a person, who says

> "Now, don’t get me wrong here: I am one hundred percent aware that history regularly erases the contributions of women, and especially women of colour"

this looks very interesting! Has anyone used it before?

oh yeah, the Gawker thing was pretty awesome actually. Gawker got what he deserved

And I guess the medias head exploded when everyone clapped at the RNC when he said "I'm proud to be gay, a republican and an American". Didn't you know republicans hate everything that moves, especially gays, womyn and African Americans?

I don't understand the medias obsession with Thiel since Trumps election.

He's a republican. K

He's gay. K

He's critical of the Silicon Valley echo chamber. K

He's a great businessman. K

There's not really a great boogieman story to make from. this.

so in STEM it's only sexism and not the fact that there are less women/ less women with interest?

Where's sexism in medicine, sociology, biology?

This phenomenon isn't entirely new. Some man have seen it as "Scandinavian gender paradox".

Still, why are we surprised? We know instinctively, that there will never web 50/50 in some fields, because man/women just don't like it as much. It's sad that some people have to pretend to agree with the feminist narrative

what do you want then? Everyone is supposed to have the same opinion?

:D

These diversity preachers are just a bunch pathetic weasels who haven't learned to work with/accept people with differing opinions

How can you advocate for someone leaving Silicon Valley based on his "philosophical jibberish", and at the same time promote diversity? "Diversity" increasingly means nothing. SV is one hell of a political echo chamber.

Diversity of thought, REGARDLESS of age,sex, skin color etc should be the goal, not ideological purity.

wow. That's not easy stuff

Putting the privacy aspect aside, this is gonna be hilarious with people "abusing" Alexa for jokes etc. As far as I now, Alexa can't be restricted to the voice of a single/some people.
