You’re not underpaid but you could make more by switching companies. Some companies simply pay more than others for the same role, level, and responsibilities because they’re engineering driven or better funded or more…
Who said these people aren’t working? I see a lot of people retraining, pivoting, and taking care of others. That’s work. Just because it doesn’t pay doesn’t mean it isn’t work or valuable. Being a stay at home parent…
Why would you need to label someone by their ethnicity in daily life? This stuff really only comes up in two situations: 1. Forms where the person in question just fills it in themselves (generally the option is…
I’m not reducing anyone’s ethnicity because Black one ethnicity and Igbo is another.
So Blacks aren’t a “real people”? Is your actual argument that African-Americans don’t exist as a distinct ethnic group? If that’s your argument you should say so.
Let’s bring in an academic to this discussion. Someone already linked the AP guidelines, but I’ll quote an actual professor with a background in this kind of stuff. Here’s quote from an article written by John…
Black when capitalized doesn’t refer to a race. It refers to an ethnicity. It’s not a retcon to capitalize ethnicities. We’ve been capitalizing ethnicities for a while now.
Black is an overloaded term. It’s a race and an ethnicity. If you were to write about black people in Africa, it would be nonsensical to capitalize it because black doesn’t communicate any shared identity in that…
It’s common to capitalize ethnicities and Black is an ethnicity in the United States. White is considered a race. Is your issue that Black is capitalized or that white is not capitalized?
I’ll go back to the office when they give me my own four walls and a door.
There is an argument that this sentiment explains a lot of America’s strange choices as it relates to publicly funded everything. It certainly seems like a lot of our divestment in community resources followed the end…
Because the alternative is to starve? You can take advantage of people when they’re in dire straits. That’s not indicative of some greater truth about the price of labor but a fact of exploitation.
What jobs have natural job security? Either you’re protected by a union, a professional association, or having a rare and valuable skill set. The unions have been busted, professional associations are exclusive by their…
Speak for yourself. I’m in no way concerned about remote work depressing wages. Competition has always been global.

Exactly. Not only should we "Give the parents choice of schools" we should make every school a good choice.
I actually discussed this very topic elsewhere in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26296242 I won't repeat my claims here, but I'll add that at this point, at least part of that overrepresentation is…
Add ending the drug war and socialized medicine that provides for mental health services to the list. Having two parents at home is important, but having a social worker and psychologist can do wonders too. We can't fix…
Getting rid of advanced classes does nothing to solve the real problem: different kids have wildly different resources/home lives and those differences often cut across racial lines. Want to fix large difference in…

That was 1997 at a conference. There was no social media or cancel culture. My point is that you can be fired for insulting the wrong rich or the wrong anybody if it’s caught on camera and gets enough views and it…
