There doesn&#x27;t seem to be much value add from this guardian article. In fact, it kind of clouds the issue by rewording some of the complaints.<p>The actual letter. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;@blindfb2020&#x2F;facebook-empowers-racism-against-its-employees-of-color-fbbfaf55ab76" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;@blindfb2020&#x2F;facebook-empowers-racism-aga...</a><p>Maybe it was just me, but I had to read the actual letter to figure out what the issue was with the clean up request.<p>According to the letter, 2 white employees assumed the black&#x2F;Latino employee was kitchen staff and asked the coworker to clean up their mess. When the black&#x2F;Latino employee complained, the manager said they should dress more professionally. (like a t-shirt and a hoodie, maybe?)

Seems like FB is turning to a right-wing org, since they won&#x27;t take down ads with lies against Dem candidates, and still have Peter Thiel on their board. Wow, trying to find citations, it&#x27;s much worse: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mashable.com&#x2F;article&#x2F;facebook-right-wing-social-network&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mashable.com&#x2F;article&#x2F;facebook-right-wing-social-netw...</a><p>And I wonder how many progressives still want to work for them, they could end up with a self-selection problem of only right wingers working for them...
