Stupidity piled on stupidity..

This is how bloody stupid the whole SJW crap is.

Under EEOC race/ethic quota rules Espindola is actually an "oppressed" minority. He would be categorized as an "Hispanic" and would qualify for a whole range of goodies and special treatment under the various race quota programs and could sue anyone who he thought was "infringing his civil rights". Lawsuits where you are always guilty until proven guilty.

So the net result of this idiotic "outreach" is that LLVM has actually greatly reduced the number of "minorities" working on the project. In project hours terms.

Not to go all Godwins Laws but the EEOC / DOJ race rules are little different from the Nürnberger Gesetz. Even a small bit of blood despite having no actual stereotypical physical characteristics of that "race" makes you of that race. So a woman I knew who despite having flame red hair, freckles, milk white skin and looking like she just stepped of a street in Galway was a "Hispanic" because her grannie was technically "Hispanic". So she qualified for all the Hispanic race quotas in school and college and had almost all her tuition paid and a big scholarship on top. One of the best programmers I ever worked with was, according to the EEOC, black. Because he had a mixed race grandparent. He was also 3/4'ers Danish and probably the blondest person I have ever known. So blonde Scandinavian that the Danish tourist board would think twice before using his image as being too perfect. He also had his way paid through college by minority scholarships. All thanks to affirmative action. He came from a poor family and if not for his "black" grandparent would never have been able to pay his way through school.

Yet my dearest friend who is African American , born in Africa of African ancestry going back many generations and who has a very wide circle of friends from all over of continent who consider her very much one of their own, of their family, but according to the EEOC / DOJ she is not African American. Because she is the wrong color. She is white Afrikaans. Her family are not very well off so she never went to college despite trying really really hard to make it happen.

Everything about affirmative action / SJW is stupid stupid stupid. All the way down.

Show me a SJW and I will show you a racialist. And usually just a straight up racist. Can only ever think in terms of race. Invariably either a self righteous middle class twit of limited world experience and intelligence or else a straight up huckster. Either way someone who has done far far more harm than any possible good over the decades for the purported target of their sanctimonious largess.
