aikah commented on Ask HN: One team lead always builds a monoethnic team – what to do? · Posted by u/mathverse
I am not conflating anything. I have had a very similar experience in EU and Singapore and while the case of Singapore is ethnic preference in EU it's about the language even if the working language is english.
They are the different sides of the same coin.

Are you complaining that people in Europe talk their native language instead of English and that a company located somewhere prefers hiring locally? Whether a company is international or not is irrelevant.
You are certainly implying that 2 distinct situations are equivalent and it's "a problem" for you. I don't see where the problem is, personally.
Now if you have witnessed specific instances of racism or racial discrimination at work or during the hiring process, then you should report it to HR or the proper local authorities.

Well the US definition of diverse is much more picky about what diverse means. I am talking about situations where indian / filipino / chinese hire only people of their ethnicity.
Or in case of Europe in an international company a team decides to hire only people that speak german / russian / french even when the interaction with other teams is obviously just in english.

You're clearly conflating ethnicity with language.
1/ Just because people talk the same language doesn't mean they have the same ethnicity.
ex: French is spoken as a native language on every continent.
2/ Just because people have allegedly the same ethnicity, doesn't mean they share the same language or even culture.
ex: All black people living in Africa do not share the same culture, yet Americans reduce black people to a single ethnic group.

Yes, in US the definition of "diverse" is politically loaded, implying you subscribe to a specific partisan ideology. It's so loaded that you can't talk about diversity as "diversity of opinion", it has to be racial

The 2 reasons why I don't use Chrome is
1/ You can't mute tabs by default
2/ You can't prevent videos to auto-start.
Simple as that, I think muting tabs was possible in the past, but of course, Chrome team removed that function because youtube.

Consumption and purchase of music are different things. The culture has not stopped. The kids just aren't paying. Thier parents are paying for easy access to Queen songs. The kids get thier music elsewhere.
Yet all the summer music festivals are packed, sold out within minutes. It's just that the kids value live experience more than they value mp3 or Spotify.
Maybe with a Windows VM.
