Probably one of the most woke game companies in America, you tell me.
At Bungie, all employees are encouraged to get involved. Our Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity Associations (IDEAs) resource groups provide a platform for employees to share their voices, connect with allies, and build community. Learn more about a few of our IDEAs: Black@Bungie -...

"Black@Bungie" I get the positive idea behind it, and if somehow all the people who joined this got something positive out of it, with no hate involved, that would be good, but imo its not sustainable long term for true equality by its nature because its logical conclusion is division and not integration.
The problem is that group is likely to be filled with the type to call any black person who *refuses* to join out of some principle an uncle tom (completely missing the point of the character in the original novel ofc, thanks shitty adaptations) or horrendous word like that.
The fact its called "IDEAs" is really putting the brain washing front and centre eh? "Lets put an
idea in your head" a pretty overall shitty one in the end, no matter the initial good intentions of sharing of culture and community.
You wouldnt think of this naturally because its objectively a bad idea over a long enough timeline, when you're talking about a work place where the defining factor of the reason why you're congregating together each day is to use skills that are by and large exclusive of race, gender, etc.
Its also stupidly vague, "asians" and "blacks", so what if you're an Africa descended native of an asian country, can you go to the black group? Yes but you might feel left out culturally because black here really means "a black person who was born in America", or "African American".
If its just about the colour of skin or ethnic inherent appearance (not sure how else to write that) then at what point is a mixed race person no longer "black". If its just about culture then that visually super white guy who was raised from a baby by only black people in the Cut video is also black then?
Its so easy to take all that shit apart I troll the hell out of it whatever job I'm in if they keeo bothering me with it. As does my friend who is a mechanical engineer, shes female in an ultra male dominated field so she gets constant emails and social media bullshit begging her to write or say something about how hard it has been to be a woman in such a "boys club".
Meanwhile the extent of the sexism shes faced is one old guy at a conference who didnt want her to give a speech in place of her male department head who couldnt make it that day... and even though his words framed it as gender discrimination it was clearly also more that she was new at these things and theyd come expecting to hear and question a much (much) more experienced speaker on the subject so that wasnt even near the fundamental basis for his discriminating against her. Jesus wept.
