> "If you are going to post about how Black lives matter and deserve justice (like Ryan Miyoshi), then you should be ready to kneel"

Very true statement, and the opposition from yt "allies" to kneel for Black lives has shocked and disgusted me

Please tell me you're not serious about the "kneeling" thing?

My understanding of the BLM movement was that it was about pushing for equality and not subservience.

> As the days passed without a response on Twitter, one rejection letter from Webflow arrived in my inbox. I started losing hope and my resentment for performative activism grew.

So remote hiring in all tech companies is racist because some person at Webflow tweeted about an opening they were sourcing candidates for and didn’t reply to one black candidate?

Trash article.

He applied to two positions, and the only rejection came days after no response from the manager who advertised his desire for BIPOC to apply and his DMs being open.

That hardly warrants a blanket statement like "Remote hiring at tech companies is racist." A more accurate title would be "The hiring manager for Webflow appears to be racist".
