Garbage comments like yours are what perpetuate the rift between the Asian/White (what I refer to as the "upper-class") super majority in tech and the infinitely smaller minority that are brown people and women in tech. I'm part of the latter group and there is nothing funny about how marginalized we feel around the rest of you.

This is over-dramatic...
I'm just saying in today's world you can identify as whatever the hell you want, and nobody can question it apparently...so It might be a good strategy for white males to "identify" as the race/gender that seem to get additional points on their applications based on their race/gender.
I don't think making light of a otherwise sad situation, is "fueling hatred". It's actually lightening the mood while pointing out room for improvement. Trying to stay positive is something we can all do, even when there are injustices.
