>What would an ERG for white people even do? What would you want from it?

The exact same thing as anyone of any other group of course.

To be clear, Whites are a minority at Google. They are also not even the largest group. (Not that this should matter - all groups have the right to exist).




>Whites are a minority at Google

Is that true? Do white men at google face systemic oppression?


when did we decide to redefine 'minority' as "faces systemic oppression"?


I asked a follow up question.

I don't even believe that white men aren't the largest demographic at google.

But even if they aren't, do they face systemic oppression because of this?

Why is it relevant that they aren't a majority?


Google's own figures say Whites are not the largest group.

Yes, Whites face systemic oppression by any definition of the word. For example, hiring systems set up that systemically prefer others over them.
