Sounds like Blizzard needs their own Elon Musk to break the mold. Someone who will think differently ā„¢

You do realize that game companies have internal management and administrative suites right? This isnt 1990.

That is one experience and the problem is people take their one experience then treat it like it is universal. No matter how much data or other evidence is given to show that such treatment is not the normal.

At my job I am the only person of color left working in administration. They even went as far as to get rid of the HR job, then bring it back just to get rid of the black HR Director. There are all sorts of things that happen in the hiring process and/or behind closed doors that limit PoC and women in jobs. When you are treated as invisible at best or too stupid to understand at worst you hear and see a lot of things.

So I get that your job is a crappy place to work but for PoC and women that kind of thing is just another day in paradise.

If she was a white woman would you make this a big deal? it seems like this is getting blown out of proportion just because she is black.

Pretty sure a segregation era South Africain who grew up with an emerald mine may have limited perspective. He is currently under several serious lawsuits for having serious racial harassment at his workplaces.

He might not be the best person to address racial diversity.

Yeah. That would be interesting. And fun to watch.

I think most people read the position and just freaked out to claim its all about hiring.

You want only developers in a AAA corporation?

Note her job title.
