The founder of the tech summit, which will be held in Qatar next year, says the West has lost its lead on tech.

How is the west white supremecy? You sound like a racist when you say that and it hurts your credibility, especially in a larger conversation about some of the other points you mention.

Go walk into a tech building in the west in the USA and you’d find that white people are a fraction of the workers present, and even then it’s European transplants also in the office. It is unironically very diverse. Teams I worked on were not strictly white people or majority white. And taking it even further - why be racist in the first place?

How is the west white supremecy?

Imperialist European powers invented “whiteness” almost 500 years ago as a justification for and a tool of imperialist domination, and the Global North is still doing it.

We really ought to teach CRT in schools like the conservatives claim we do.
