Is there an affinity group for the overwhelming majority of "Latinx" people who don't use or like this term?

Well did he email his management with a list of demands they weren't willing to meet, saying that he'd resign if the demands weren't met? Because that appears to be what Gebru has done.

> the leaker was also fired

Really? I never heard this, and I followed the Damore drama very closely at the time. It's an interesting detail; do you have a source?

Eh, I'm not sure what point I was trying to make, and to be clear I don't think your comment was racist.

Culture is obviously correlated with race in some respects. It's when you start talking about the reason behind some of those correlations that you risk (rightly or wrongly) being called a racist.

Fact check: James Damore never said this in his own defense and afaik didn't publicly reveal that he's on the spectrum until the Guardian wrote a profile of him months after the initial controversy.

Ridiculously, people are starting to use this term in the UK too, even though white people are the indigenous ones here.

> What makes you think POC are equivalent with woke activists?

It's actually the opposite of the truth; "woke" activists/SJWs/whatever you want to call them are disproportionately white.

> culture is strongly connected to race.

In another context this statement would be seen as overtly racist.

But far less carbon-efficient than just not buying so much unnecessary crap in the first place.
