Your assertion that there are real people who actually suffer prejudices seems to imply that she is not a real person and doesn’t suffer from those same prejudices, or that we shouldn’t care even if she did. You are intellectually dishonest in how you apply your empathy. She’s a black woman in tech - she has had to fight every step of the way to get to where she is and you know damn well that she suffers prejudices. At best, this statement is ignorant.
When people dare speak out about how they’re being treated, they’re “playing the victim game”. YOU give me a break. You don’t get to dictate who has the privilege of speaking out. Go back and read the emails to the ERG. Read the stats. They hired her to help fix these issues, then pushed her out because they didn’t want to do the work that required.
