> Terrible people with zero real skills all backstabbing each other.

You know, without you saying another word, I feel like I know them, down to being able to describe their clothes, haircuts and of course powerpoint decks. It's like some bad business school archetype that just re-appears by itself in nature.

This sounds increasingly common in US corp culture, it was reasonably common when I worked there (when times were good) but perhaps now even more so.

How would you feel if I complained about a company being a bit "too brown"? Since when did we normalize this subtle racism towards white people?

For a workplace to be very white means they are self-selecting whiteness for their employees instead of hiring in a way that gives equal opportunity to all people. In other words, they have (probably unconscious but still inexcusable) racism in their hiring practices. Reasonable people would agree this is a bad thing.

Is 60% very white?

Depends on the city and country.

i think he's referring to the collar (not the skin) as in white collar work vs blue or brown collar.

Valid point - if that was the intention then my bad, bit of an overreaction.

I really don’t think this is the case

The US is a white-majority country where the power and money are disproportionately in the hands of white people.

When a company (in education!) that makes lots of noise about diversity obviously favors hiring white people, it's noteworthy.

If we were in some brown-majority country where white people were excluded from money and power, yes, that would be noteworthy. Call it out! The US, despite what Trump tells his MAGA followers, is not that country.
