The takeaway from this thread is that some colored/women do not feel comfortable around whites; and expect a support network for this status? Maybe the problem isn't that Charl's over there has white skin, but that you cannot see past this?
Maybe if the only whites that you (maybe not the OP) are comfortable around are ones who identify themselves as "allies" and walk on eggshells around you (like the ones in this thread) is a bad sign for your tolerance of others.
But maybe im wrong... I'll score an HR job and start my line with: "Hi yes at my startup, we have women's chairs ;] for diversity. There is also a chair that black people feel more comfortable sitting in, which we also have." I cant wait to get all that diverse tech talent!
Sounds about right
Obviously a bunch of indians will be more comfortable with each other if you just leave them in an office than like
did you think about working in another country, and suddenly your co-worker asks you something , and you think "fuck, i forgot what that word meant" , and there is no place to do AMERICAN things like shooting guns, or whatever, instead you are eating food from iran all the time....
"Right this is your co-worker Josh he is also WHITE like you" i mean thats basically- you're already friends at that point... so just think about how chaim feels at the synagouge with his people, its like that, except you are not jewish, do you know what i mean?
The guy in this needs to get off his phone, this whole thing lacks self-awareness... There is a difference between playing with your phone around your kid all the time and spending time with your kid.
Why is this article just repeating itself like a broken record about 'diversity'? Really after reading the phrase for the fourth time it makes you realize that the perceived problem is not anything related to the merits of HR but rather; the article is really about how HR departments aren't hiring as many colored people as the author would like... given the premise in the beginning I don't know what I expected.
Yes. Trains and trucks use up more fuel and are much more dangerous than pipelines. Look up "oil train derailment". Oil trains can and do explode when they derail, and they pass through population centers.
One reason existing pipelines have a lot of problems today is because a lot of them are very old, which makes them much more dangerous than any pipeline built today. This is a good article about that: http://insideenergy.org/2014/08/01/half-century-old-pipeline...
A brand new pipeline would be less dangerous than the existing pipeline infrastructure we use today.
