I agree with this in the abstract. I think it's just, uhh, a little weird to pair this kind of message with a "we're removing tons of jobs that people relied on" kind of message.


I agree that this was poor messaging. If they had instead worded it in a "we are making active efforts to make sure we are not disproportionately hitting any demographic", that would have been better. Would ultimately be the same message, of course, but the idea is to find ways to battle default behaviors/prejudices, not just to be "anti-racist."
