Yup. Glad people are saying this. Hope companies are hearing it. (Also, I dunno if you can edit the title, but it's "predominantly".)The most impactful detriment to diversity in Silicon Valley is the idea of “culture fit.”
A fun browser extension for conversations like this: PC2Respect."Those same people who might not go along with considerations of treating people with respect may also be in support of issues that are most definitely leftist."
Unfortunately, saying that these people should have a face full of pepper spray is the kind of thing that will ensure this keeps happening. In the video, it looks like Sanders himself is ready to listen on this issue. It's a shame that the other white guy who took over the mic instead of just letting that gal speak for a little while didn't handle it better. From what I've read, some people in the crowd weren't particularly cool, either. I think Sanders and many of his supporters are well-meaning and angry about injustice as well. But I think the solution here is listening until they (we -- I support both Sanders and Black Lives Matter as well) can convince folks they've been heard, rather than fighting against people who are on the same side.
It's fine to care about both human suffering and people who kill animals for fun. But people who have tweeted about Cecil the Lion and not Trayvon Martin need to fuckin' reflect on their values.
It was also a relief that even NASA scientists get dumb on sleep deprivation.
One solution that seems to make sense in police brutality cases is body cameras. Sanders supports those. Are there other things you'd like to hear him saying?Sanders said he supports requiring police officers to wear body cameras and other reforms so that "suspects are treated with respect."

Glancing up from a cell phone to see if the light is green seems like it might cause such a phenomenon. To speculate.
