Who did you pick and why ?
•"When I am told about our national heritage or about “civilization,” I am shown that people of my color made it what it is."
Even daring to mention the pervasive racism and sexism against white men in the bay area instantly gets you labelled as racist and sexist yourself.
"I can turn on the television or open to the front page of the paper and see people of my race widely represented."
•"When I am told about our national heritage or about “civilization,” I am shown that people of my color made it what it is."
•"If a traffic cop pulls me over or if the IRS audits my tax return, I can be sure I haven’t been singled out because of my race."
•"I can if I wish arrange to be in the company of people of my race most of the time."
If you read through the rest of the list, you can see how white people and people of color experience the world in two very different ways.

A lawsuit alleges the search giant set hiring quotas for some technical positions.
A former Google recruiter was fired from his job for objecting to a company practice of rejecting Asian and white male candidates for technical positions, according to a civil lawsuit filed against the internet giant.
Arne Wilberg, who worked at Google for nine years, alleges Google set quotas for hiring minorities, Bloomberg reported Thursday. The lawsuit, filed in January in California's San Mateo County Superior Court, claims he was fired by Google in retaliation for complaining to human resources about the company's hiring practices, the news agency reported.
The controversy comes as Silicon Valley companies grapple with how to increase workforce diversity in an industry dominated by white men and permeated with corporate cultures that seem biased against women and female engineers. Google, Facebook, Microsoft and other tech companies now regularly release diversity reports, highlighting low percentages of women and minority employees, with few moving up the management chain.
Google had "irrefutable policies, memorialized in writing and consistently implemented in practice, of systematically discriminating in favor job applicants who are Hispanic, African American, or female, and against Caucasian and Asian men," according to Wilberg's complaint.
