This post is a perfect example of how far people of color and women have yet to go in this industry. As soon as we start to move into a white, male-dominated court they feel threatened and feel the need to vent about it anonymously on an app. How about you embrace the leveling out of a long uneven playing field and see how diversity can make our ideas and agencies stronger?
@supervisor1 Racism and sexism include an element of power that is fundamental to these terms. A dominant group in a position of power -- here, white men -- can be discriminated against or experience prejudice, but it's neither racism nor sexism. Next time you weigh in on a complex issue with a snarky response, consider digging deeper than dictionary.com.
You can't solve racism and sexism with racism and sexism
@Director1, the advancement of POC does not equal "leaving white men behind." This is literally the workplace version of Black Lives Matter. White 👏🏻 men 👏🏻 literally 👏🏻 have 👏🏻 every 👏🏻 single 👏🏻 privilege 👏🏻 in 👏🏻 life 👏🏻. This whole thread is so embarrassing.
Sincerely, a white woman.

But it's not racism if it leaves white people behind, and it's not sexism if it leaves men behind. Am I getting the hang of this equality thing?
@DigitalSupervisor it's not possible to be racist and sexist to white men. White men are not a minority group oppressed by their gender or race. 🤦🏼♀️

I don't understand what all those arbitrary numbers are supposed to mean.
@OP You are all over the place on this post... might I suggest a hobby?
Because then we'd have no funny commercials?
What's a "promotion"? Never heard of those before.
SJW hypocrites are this generation's version of southern republicans...in reverse. They want special privileges for people they deem worthy and are close minded and vindictive to any opposing POV
Ok PM1, quick basic logic check. If HR goes up to a white dude and says, "Hey, we're firing you because you're white and a dude so we can make room for someone not white and not dude," was the company being racist and or sexist or nah?
@OP, your numbers are arbitrary because you made them up and they mean nothing. Giving made up numbers don't make them stats.
@supervisor1, wow. I'm embarrassed for your reply and not even going to entertain a response to it because it's so off-base.
You can't just extrapolate the definition of a word with your political opinion. Racism is defined as a type of prejudice based off ones race, which everyone is subject to. I agree that there is a "dominant group" system that can benefit white men more often than other groups, but to flat out say that one group is immune to something, while another is always prone to it gets into generalization, which only exacerbates the issue
Unconscious bias.
My last agency, women outnumbered men 3:1. The management team was more than half women.
The more striking statistic was that the vast majority of women at SVP and above didn't have kids. (But that's a topic for another post)
OP, the pool of us POC isn't big enough to meet the demand for hires or promotions. Diversity programs are a step forward, but we need more non-white folks to choose to go into this industry first. Working on it.
