Only after you refused to write anything meaningful and started throwing funny statistics. Like booo hooo, there are only x percent of people sharing your skin color in the fricking Academy of Motion Pictures, I'll have the world's smallest violin play just for your tragic life.
You see why I don't believe you? You say nothing concrete. Your entire reply is just buzzwords and a mantra that might as well be posted by a chat bot. I'm part of which problem of yours exactly? I have literally nothing to do with your country and its stupid politics.
You could have shed some honest light on your situation and maybe I'd be like holy shit it's real. But no, you're sitting there living your privileged little American life that 95% of the world can only envy you on and whine about not getting a promotion on your job that probably pays more weekly than an average Indian earns in a year.
These statistics mean nothing if the question is whether you, the individual are prevented from succeeding in life solely based on your race and gender. The reason why there are less women in the police (everywhere in the wold) is especially obvious. For reasons on why the academy (one of the most fiercely liberal group of people in the world) is majority white I won't bother going into, but there always seems to be an answer that isn't racism or sexism. Less women pick certain professions due to biological and cultural reasons. Less black people get into cinematography, possibly because they're poorer and art isn't the first choice for people living in poverty. I could go on and on, but the point is that I've seen no evidence that racial minorities being rejected based on their skin color is this rampant thing in the US.
And even if there is some racial discrimination, there's no way your average african american is at more of a disadvantage than a pale slav with terrible accent and from a different culture.
As for your example, you might as well be lying since you won't even say what field you're talking about. And if it's true, it only shows there are singular cases of petty racists in management positions here and there.
Neither have I, but I was often accused of being on the spectrum. In reality, it was just plain old social anxiety.
Can you say what profession please?
I don't identify with the white race btw.
Also you have 2020 posts, nice.
Yes, especially if you are autistic.
It was the same among my group of friends, though we all made fun of each other in a harmless way. I rarely heard it from non-friends. In a way I'm thankful because it made me aware of some of my weird mannerisms so that I was able to fix them.
They definitely aren't any worse at it than Americans.
Look at it from the bright side. Are you hungry? Have a roof over your head? If you have that, you're ahead of many and free to pursue your happiness in other way but financial gain.
This reply is literally "you've made a stupid generalization so why can't I?".
Except I didn't even make one, a friend of a friend did, my post was meant to provoke counter arguments and I got some good ones and some terrible ones like yours.
