I don't see what's wrong with making a statement that white people are unsuitable to lead anything regarding diversity.
I don't like GH, but that's retarded. Just don't fucking use Github, and don't recommend it to others.

>what's wrong
>white people are unsuitable
racism?
>>52908784
why do you need shoehorned diversity just for the sake of diversity?
Git doesn't specifically relate to white people. It's a slang for dumb people, so I don't understand. I get that it's a joke, but I don't get how the joke makes sense.
>>52908826
what?
really?
>>52908804
Simply saying white people are unsuitable isn't racism, the same way saying women are unsuitable to tasks involving high physical strength isn't sexist. Actively denying them a job due to being white is racist, however, but there is no evidence of that occurring here.
>>52908815
I don't care personally, I'm just pointing out what's in the OP isn't discrimination.
>>52908784
Making the statement isn't the problem. Making it a goal of github is, however. Making broad generalizations on an entire race and/or gender is quite the opposite of embracing diversity, and supporting that idea means that they themselves aren't fit for that task.
>the joos keepin the white man down!!!!
Worse than niggers to be quite honest with you familia
>>52908662
Most of this seem like standard SJW bullshit, however:
>Request GitHub to stop using 'Git' in their name
Can someone explain this?
How is 'git' as a word raciss?
Being an upside-down convict, 'Git' to me means an idiot as per the british usage, however it's never implied race or gender...
>>52908928
How is a point in a slide titled "6 THINGS THAT ARE HARD TO TALK ABOUT BUT WE MUST" making it a goal of github?
The point is completely valid regardless, white people have already been leading diversity for all of history and look how that has turned out.
>>52908854
Yeah dawg. Urban dictionary it.
Or even better, here's the Wikipedia article on the word: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(slang)
>>52908981
you are a git
Git is a name owned by Linus Torvalds, its creator
GitHub uses this name which may not be legal
so the petition author asks Linus to act against GitHub because he hopes Linus won't tolerate this racism
the name git has nothing to do with racism
is it this hard to understand?
>>52908986
white people do not care for diversity
they care for results
if black women could code well, there would be no single white person in tech corporations
but they cannot
and denying a workplace from a higher skilled white to 'diverse' it and give the job to a totally incompetent black person IS RACISM against white people.
https://youtu.be/_-cSU-QDan8?t=9
>>52909017
No, that's not difficult at all, but I wasn't going to give breitbart the hits and OP hadn't explained it all.
I honestly thought the SJWs had come up with some crazy rational on why the word 'git' was raciss.
Turns out OP was, as per standard, a faggot.
>>52908784
I don't see what's wrong with making a statement that black people are unsuitable to lead anything regarding not committing crimes.
>>52908916
OK sure, next time a company has a job opening they can put "black people are unsuitable" on the job descriptions so long as they may actually still hire one?
>>52909017
That makes more sense. Thanks poster
>>52908745
im not white, and i can tell you, thats racist.
>>52909055
>black people are unsuitable to lead anything regarding not committing crimes.
this actually can be proven with statistics
(e.g. in usa blacks are 13% but commit 50% homicides, see http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=b6a_1455109441)
white managers being unable to be fair and somehow act against 'diversity' is an open lie and anti-white racism
>>52908774

>(e.g. in usa blacks are 13% but commit 50% homicides, see http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=b6a_1455109441)
Which can also be attributed to their socio-economic status, which again is a result of slavery.
>>52908784
Diverse environment includes white people… diverse != non-white you retard
>>52908986
We don't know for sure if it is a goal of github, but it's a valid concern because the person who said it is the VP of Social Impact at github. As a sort of extreme example, if some schmuck says he thinks all muslims should drop dead, that's not a big deal, but if it's said by a president or general, then that's a lot more concerning.
And it's not valid simply because it's still discrimination. Even worse, this is discrimination for the sake of discrimination only. There is nothing to gain from hiring people based on their race/gender instead of their set of skills.
>>52909179
diversity is code for anti-white
>>52909155
Wrong. There is zero to none correlation with poverty and violent crime
>>52909047
You seem to be confused. Nobody is saying anything about denying white people work, just that they are unsuitable to LEAD diversity, i.e., a job held by one person. As you said yourself, white people do not care for diversity, which only furthers the point that white people are unsuitable for the job.
>>52909073
Yes, that's what free speech is. Although I'm not sure why anyone would do that unless black people were genuinely unsuitable for the job. A role playing a white person in a movie, for example, it's completely reasonable to say a black person is unsuitable to play Steve Jobs.
>>52909155
>>(e.g. in usa blacks are 13% but commit 50% homicides, see http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=b6a_1455109441)

no, it can't. see picture.
please bring your shitty views to /pol/ so they can destroy you there. this is no place for such discussion.
>>52909179
The TASK of increasing diversity in the workplace is different than diversity itself. Besides, workplaces are already mostly white, adding more won't solve anything.
>>52909196
How is it discrimination? They aren't denying white people jobs.
>>52909155
>which again is a result of slavery.

>>52909209
Then why were most criminals poor before resorting to crime? Do you even have any sources?

Are you saying niggers are rich? Most niggers aren't rich, they're poor. They grow up in shitty neighbourhoods, they become bangers, and do crime. The fact is studies show there is a correlation between poverty and crime.

I can assure you in my business I never hire blacks or any ethnics. Why? Becasue they never have the skills. Simple. One young black guy did come close to getting hired but then he mentioned something about diversity in the interview so into the trash he went. I value logic and reason. Not emotion.

>>52909297
If someone says that white people can't lead diversity, and that "33% isn't enough", they're implying that they need to hire people other than white people, just because they're not white. That's discrimination, and it's no different from hiring Amanda instead of Shaniqua based on the name that shows up on their CV.
The thing with diversity is that it's perfectly fine to encourage it, it hurts nobody and it allows a natural progression of the work environment. However, some of these people are bent on enforcing diversity at an accelerated rate, which ends up hurting the cause. Affirmative action is having the same issue right now; many people (both black and white) feel that Aa cheapens the achievements of black people, as they are judged by color more than skills.
Diversity is a real problem, and weaponizing it for political profit doesn't help at all.

This is actually happening, though, while the opposite is not. Diversity is about giving minorities the same chance to be hired as white people, and when that happens it will level itself out naturally.
>>52909638

>where did you draw this from?
You mean besides the "not work for white folks to lead" bit? Because that's exactly what it implies.
>This is actually happening, though, while the opposite is not.
I know it's happening, that's why I used it as an example. And the opposite IS happening as well, and it already happened for hiring more females (which make the "some of the biggest barriers to progress are white women" part of the slide really ironic). Affirmative action is also a good example that you conveniently ignored.
>Diversity is about giving minorities the same chance to be hired as white people
Yes it is, and it's important to note that it's exactly as you say it: same chance. Same chance doesn't necessarily imply that they will be hired, or that they will be representative of their population in the area, only that they won't face any kind of discrimination during the hiring process. This means that whether a company is 100% minorities or 100% white people must be fully dependent on the skills of the people that applied for the job, and not based on quotas. Do notice that this concept is what ignited the rug shitstorm at github.
>>52909856
How does this prove your claim? This is just an experiment of what impact perceived discrimination has on the stress levels of minority workers. This does not show actual confirmed cases of discrimination.
>>52909997

Yes, but the implication of the presentation is that creating diversity departments on other companies will require hiring people that aren't white. That's why it's an implication. Because it's not said outright. It's implied.
>>52910171
>will require hiring people that aren't white
Hiring people that aren't white is not discrimination. Hiring them BECAUSE they aren't white is, but that was not implied in any way. Saying they are unsuitable is not saying they won't be hired.

What evidence do you want? It seems you won't be happy with anything because you are a bigot.
This thread must be full of bait. Whenever these pro-diversity agendas are set up, they inevitably (and ironically) become racist and sexist. Suddenly organizations are collecting data on people's skin color and their genitalia and using that data to filter people out of their group. It's the very definition of racism and sexism.
A truly egalitarian society does not need to collect this data or meet race/sex quotas. Applicants are hired (or given grants or scholarships) based on their merits and not factors they were born with that are completely outside their control.
Women are now earning degrees more than men at a 2-to-1 rate. Some fields are almost entirely dominated by women (mainly education and health professions.) There are hardly any male teachers left in American schools. You never hear about this because it does not fit the feminist agenda. For some reason technology, and specifically IT and CS, gets picked on for being "sexist" because men happen to outnumber women. Asians are also represented in STEM beyond their proportion of the general population but you don't hear about this because they remain a minority, and that does not fit the agenda.
The American left is being fractured by divisive SJWs who don't even understand the issues they are most rustled about, much less far more important issues like economics. Make no mistake the ownership class is most pleased by this.
And the people parroting this fluff are doing so purely for their own career advancement. Suddenly we have people who have never written a line of code being highly paid judicators in the hiring process and HR department. The woman in OP's pic is a racist and a sexist.

It was implied. It's a broad generalization that leaves no room for dialogue. X people are just not fit for that task. Sure, nobody says they won't get hired, but the implication is that they won't, based on that idea alone.
That said, while I understand your point, it seems to me like we're seeing the phrase "not suitable to lead" from different angles, which is why it's the one thing we can't agree on. I think we can safely drop it at this point, or we'll get stuck discussing it forever.

>http://www.nber.org/digest/sep03/w9873.html
I would have to look at the study more in-depth to decide whether it has any merit, and wasn't crafted in such a way to "make a point." The fact they varied the quality of the resumes in addition to the names makes the entire study dubious in my opinion; a well-designed study minimizes the independent variables (ideally to one.) Frankly, by allowing the content of the resumes to vary in more than one way (and seemingly every possible way,) it would be very easy to construct the study in such a way to make a point. I could easily construct a study proving the exact opposite.
Even taking the study at face value, the solutions proffered by (most of) these opportunist SJWs are openly, de-facto racist and sexist and therefore do nothing to address the root cause of their issues. They advocate fighting an innate aspect of culture with rigid institutions and litigation which will only create further diversion and ultimately undermine whatever goal they had in the first place. I'm not involved in hiring but I would not be surprised if hiring a woman or minority is viewed as a liability by many because you are far more likely to be facing a discrimination lawsuit of some kind down the road.
I can only think of two discrimination lawsuits filed by white men off the top of my head (one being the guy who wanted to be a Hooters waiter and the other being Yahoo's ongoing fiasco wherein white men were blatantly being passed over for promotions.)
I see the Trump phenomenon in general largely a response to the SJW platforms that will (perhaps) undermine their cause.

This is pointless, to have a claim he has to continually enforce his ownership of the term which he hasn't and wont do. That's how open source and non-proprietary works, you don't get to choose who gets to use it.

Coincidentally I am working on a multibillion dollar project that was bought out by asians in LA. If you live in that area, you'd probably know what I'm talking about.
Didn't Linus name it git because it's an insult in the first place? I expected the SJWs to jump on this eventually, not the free speech side.
Don't start playing their games, stand by the principles.

>>52911742
Never had that happen.
Are you sure someone didn't push the same file before you got yours in or something?
>>52911742
run this, you fuckwitgit add .
or
git add *
git commit -m "i'm a huge faggot"
git push _name_ _Branchname_

2/10 made me reply
>>52911742
you're stupid as shit, mate
git remove your_life
git commit -m "removed a huge faggot"
git push origin master
>>52911750
This happens regardless of if anyone did a push before or not, and even with a single-user repository where it's impossible for anyone to commit.
>>52911757
Oh look, it's what I ran. It doesn't work.
Look, other version control systems aren't any better. They have some of the same problems as well. It's really a retarded system that we're all forced into when we have multiple people working on the same project, which is sad.

>>52911821
Happens to me all the goddamn time.
Try it yourself. Get a test repo on gitsjwhub or one of your meme github clones that will be gone next week, upload a list of files, then change a couple and add a single file to it.
Enjoy your error.
>>52911805
So, let me get this straight. In your mind, you think that people like /g/ users and Torvalds, who are notoriously picky complainers who need everything to be pragmatic, are all secretly fuckwits using a retarded system that makes no sense, and your the only genius who can see that it's fundamentally flawed?
FUCK I hate this stupid fucking board.
>>52911831
this. software development isn't like one of your shitty gayems, you gaymur pleb
>>52911805
Read the free Pro Git book, it's really good. https://progit.org/
It will help you understand on a fundamental level what's going on with git and how it works.
Yeah, yeah, you feel like you shouldn't have to read a book to understand how a VCS works, I know. But trust me on this one, just read at least the first few chapters and it'll all make sense.

1. I do not think "git" is trademarked
2. Even if it were then this action only would cause drama and/or unnecessary and confusing rebranding (think about Iceweasel)
3. It solves nothing
Also a trademark policy that says "Anyone can use the name >>git<< freely except in the name of >>github<<" doesn't look good.
>>52909017
>Git is a name owned by Linus Torvalds, its creator
>GitHub uses this name which may not be legal
The word "git" is hardly copyrightable and is only owned by Linus if he trademarked it (and I doubt it).
I literally don't know what they are angry about now.
stop being easily offended and forcing people to conform to your ideals. fuck.

It is as long as white people are the large majority. Only when the distribution of races is exactly like the world population, there is diversity.

>>52908774
This is literally just "white people shouldn't lead equality efforts"
Which is true
>>52917180
Wow, that's incredibly racist and problematic of you.
>>52917235
Yeah, it is.
Most sjw fucks are actually white people who are trying to get brownie points by """" helping'""" black people and feeling good about themselves.
Its not actually helping and makes us look weak.
It's just very funny how all those "anti-racism" people are the most racist of them all.
I myself consider myself a true non-racist - because I simply do not give a SHIT.
I'll make jokes about jews, dindus, rajeets, Chingchongs, but also Hillbilly Bill with his mullet.
However, if it comes to actual people, I do not judge by skin color at all. I simply don't see it as either a good or a bad thing.
>>52910612
One thing about this is that those "Black Names" they cite, like Lakisha and Jamal, in America, are typically only given to lower-class black people.
An intelligent, sensible black parent will give their kid a neutral, american name.
Thus, even just by the name, a framework of the social circumstances and behaviour is constructed.
I have no idea what stereotypical low-intelligence white american names there are, but for example, for Germany, names like this are less likely to get hired:
Jeremy-Pascal, Chantal
Names like these are identified with leftists / a leftist family:
Malte, Sören
Names like these are identified with very conservative people:
Hansjörg, Jörg, Horst, Bernd
A name is not just portraying your race, it's also portraying how your parents probably raised you.

For crying out loud... This board has always been very hostile towards morons pushing the "diversity is a perfectly valid excuse for racism, sexism and nepotism"-agenda. We don't give a shit about your race, gender, religion, nationality or your sexual preference as long as you don't try to tout it as a reason why people should have to roll out the red carpet for you. All we care about it your ability to do the job and do it well. If you're incompetent then you're incompetent no matter if you're white, brown, black or green.
Don't like it? Then take the advice from picture related.

>Linus creates a system for version control in software development and names it
>Company creates a service around said standard and names their company after the standard making it look like they came up with the whole standard rather than Linus
I'd say Linus would be well within his rights to tell GitHub to stop using the name of the system he created in their name.
