An engineer who was fired by Google for circulating an anti-diversity memo sued the company this week, alleging that the tech giant discriminates against white, conservative men. Hes likely not alone in that belief.
There are other white men working in tech who believe their gender and race are making it difficult for them to get ahead, according to a survey by the Pew Research Center about diversity in the science and technology fields.
Pew asked a nationally representative sample of white men with jobs in science, technology, math and engineering (or STEM) fields whether they thought their gender made it harder for them to succeed. Of the 14% who said yes, more than 1 in 10 said they had been affected by reverse discrimination.
When Pew posed a similar question about race to the survey respondents, nearly 20% of those who said race made their job harder cited reverse discrimination as the reason for their challenges. [ ]
[T]here are a variety of factors that may make white men in STEM perceive themselves as victims of discrimination. Men have a tendency to believe that decreasing bias against women is associated with increasing bias against men, said Clara Wilkins, a professor at Wesleyan University who studies the psychology behind reverse discrimination.

That would probably work.
I have no beef with women or minoritys, I just want a fair deal.
I doesn’t even really bother me when some gloryhound tries to steal all the thunder so long as we all know what is what and we get the job done
My buddy Joe wrote a manifesto, and on his last day when he had all his i’s dotted and t’s crossed
He sent it to the President of the company and copied EVERYONE
He made it clear that when we were young we LOVED our jobs and the mission, we would work insane hours and never worried about the pay.
He made it clear PC and bean counters made the last 10 years hell
5000 men CHEERED!
Rock on Joe
Heh Heh!
If you guys think it’s bad here, you should see what’s going on in South Africa. In the US, at least, companies are still forced to hire some number of whites, simply because there aren’t enough nominally-qualified minorities. Whites (especially if Asians are counted) are the still the vast majority of people in the skilled and semi-skilled workforce.
In South Africa now, they actually have similar laws to the US, forcing companies to put less qualified blacks over whites when hiring. But when whites are only 10% of the population to begin with, guess what, they simply don’t get hired. So there is now an army of white, jobless people who, in a society that didn’t discriminate, would have tons of jobs to choose from...while many blacks (and similar) are simply clueless in high-responsibility positions - which pretty much explains why the country keeps dropping economically, compared to the rest of the world.

When a fellow I knew was finally hired in to Chrysler back in the early 90’s, he was told, in no uncertain terms “you are on the BOTTOM of the totem pole. You’re white and your male. Period”
“The old ones”
The old ones that built America are all dead.
Falling Down comes to mind.
Feminism is a corporate tool for keeping working class families from rising to compete. They know that ingenuity resides in some of those families and seek to limit hiring to those who will not rise to compete.
You live in the cyberage.
Lemme know how youd like to give up all the stuff we built
“Lemme know how youd like to give up all the stuff we built”
If you built it, it belongs to you.
If some people that are of the same race as you built it, it does not belong to you.
“The old ones that built America are all dead.”
Go back to DU, you 50 IQ Soros troll.
What "class" are taught under the auspices of "diversity and inclusiveness" at the company.
Are any white males in that office?
Sue to obtain their recent hires...ethnicity and age of said hires.
Went home figured that that was that.
Month later was called and told the job had opened up again. So, I got the job I said.
NO, I had to interview again.
Told them I wasn't going to be their token white guy so there was a place they could stick their job.
Move on.
Joe you seem angry.
Pardon my tears
The gynocentric media are going to report such things like this from a certain angle, deliberately. It’s disappointing and sad but not surprising.
Not angry at all.
I just don’t expect to realize economic gains due to the work of done by people a long time ago that happen to be the same color as me.
Joe I have worked with all races and we all pull our weight for the most part,
