You mentioned "minority candidates" twice there. Both times it was in reference to them being at a disadvantage.

I read that to mean that the tests are geared towards white candidates! Is that really what you mean? Coz I can't wrap my head around that!

I also noticed that. It's very racist the assume that all minority candidates are disadvantaged.

Familial wealth is correlated with race.

Familial wealth provides an individual with more free time, generally.

More free time before a big interview means more leetcode prep time and memorization of the answers.

More leetcode prep time leads to passing leetcode interviews more often.

This isn't that complex.

> This isn't that complex.

It really bums me out when people reach for this kind of "how are you not getting this" slight. You could have just explained the reasoning without implying that the asker is an idiot. You're just making yourself harder to hear.

Bullshit! Absolute utter woke bullshit!

I don't have familial wealth and I can study for stuff. I happen to spend around an hour a day (most days) studying programming-related topics.

I'm sick of this woke nonsense pervading society.

Studying for a Leetcode exam has sweet-fuck-all to do with race!
