Is there any indication they're suffering actual discrimination? Pay gaps, harassment, disproportionately not-hired or fired?



Like all racism, how much you encounter it really depends on where you live.

A white person living in the Big Island of Hawaii.. almost daily.


Is it a problem for you? If so, and you didn't live there as a child, many people would just suggest that you move. Colonialism isn't history in Hawai'i.

It never really bothered me when I lived on O'ahu. I know the difference between "damn haoles" and "fuckin' haoles", and I know which one I am.


Unless Github's located in Hawaii, I'm not sure how that's relevant.

Github is predominantly white and located in SF. Are white employees there suffering significant "actual discrimination" as the post a couple levels up alleges?


No.


Yes, my sense of entitlement is being challenged.
