Uber's "Don't Call Me Karen" event

https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/uber-karen-diversity-event-sf-18112754.php Anyone here that was there and can speak about how it went? Did the event come off as more of a lecture about white women's struggles as the article suggests, and if so was that clear to attribute it to how Bo Young Lee ran the event? #tech #uber #deib

HR/Legal/Dara used Bo as a scapegoat because she got defensive to protect the white women employee panelists. One of them was Bo’s manager the Head of HR at Uber! They scapegoated her conduct!

That's what it seems like. Nikki was obviously made aware of the event/may have given approval for it. Bo being the only one reprimanded is insane but expected

Woke radicals are never satisfied. They demand and never intend to compromise or establish peace

Paradoxically, this will result in increased compensation for diversity officers. Shows how risky and important the role is. So all good.

Hummm not sure if shows the importance and why was that event needed in the first place, I think it shows more the ignorance of so called experts in DEI, and that they also don’t really know what they are talking about.

Long as DEI exists, there will need to be a fall person to shield higher level execs from blowback.

It means that Uber employ many dei who are not able to have an open discussion about race

She tried to make it a racist term when it's completely not racist or even sexist. Like why are you reaching so hard to be offended. If you're going to focus on anything to be offended at skip past the race discussion and go right for the fact that a lot of people's own names just got obliterated by internet memes.
