Where the design community meets.

Agreed, Mario. It's heartbreaking, but sadly, not surprising.
I think it's racist to hire someone for their race and not their talent and experience.
When logic is too strong, giphy to the rescue.
It definitely is, but unfortunately this is already happening. White people are 50% more likely to get called back for an interview—in fact just having a white-sounding name is as valuable as 8 additional years of experience. Given that this isn't going to just go away, the best way anyone's come up with to fight it is making a special effort to hire people of color. Can you think of a better way?

It's just so dismissive and heartbreaking to see designers say that we should just wait and remain silent till diversity magically happens.
