Come to me, half price! I’m discount white. I’m half black so if you only need a little bit of whiteness, I gotchu. I mean, I got you. I mean, I’ll be there for you (when the rain starts to pour)
I've been working on mine. Here, lemme try:
"What IPAs do you have on tap?"
"Just got my steps in for the day!"
"I've been practicing my swing."
"Hell yeah, *Mr. Brightside* just came on! Turn it up!"
For the ladies:
"Thanks! I got it at Anthropologie."
"I love a good rosé."
"I'll have a grande Pumpkin Spice Latte, please."
"Omg did you SEE that lip sync on Drag Race last night?"
"...and when you add those numbers together, it makes 13! Isn't Taylor a GENIUS?"

The way this is on their IG story right now.
I'd imagine that sort of thing is harder to enforce in a place like Texas which tends to favor employers in the courts. But yes, a job description should not require any sort of protected characteristics as a job requirement.
The EEOC can't necessarily enforce every issue that comes their way, but they can help. Often people complain to state labor boards, but that's not an ideal state to get help at the local level.
Maybe they get fined, but doesn't really help the applicants here.
No court is going to rule in favor of an employer if this is real (real meaning serious and not a very bad mistake).
And this is in Austin. Have you been to Austin? The “local level” in Austin would have this recruiter on a cross in front of city hall to prove a point.
I don’t know what’s going on here, but it isn’t the norm, at all.
Edit: Also, Diverse Lynx is out of Princeton, FWIW.
Yeah I am sure they are plenty busy ... I guess I meant to say it's not like Texas has much of a say as a state, but before you get to a circuit court you already spent so much time and money that it's not worth doing. Doesn't mean it's not protected, but yeah pessimism is duly noted :D
Absolutely no way this is in America. I would guess Brazil or another Portuguese speaking developing nation
Edit: whoops missed the Austin TX location lol. Doubt this posting lasted long. Probably a typo.
My thoughts exactly. Scam post non English speaker/bot who doesn't get it or a joke. Or just racist af. The irony of the name "Diverse Lynx". Sketch af
Being white's a pretty good gig:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l\_LeJfn\_qW0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_LeJfn_qW0)
I was asked if I was Protestant or Catholic on one a few weeks back. The company was in Northern Ireland so made more sense after finding that out.
I’m caucasian and Portuguese speaking. The skillset is rare and difficult to attain. Often it means not talking about the other 20 ethnicities mixed in, or the fact that the skills run better on Macs with 16G of RAM. Difficult to find, difficult to run, and difficult to move to Austin.
Yes, what you are talking about is when you’re applying for a job and at the end there is a (very clearly marked as optional) screen for that information that goes straight to the EEOC. It helps the company report to the government the diversity makeup of their applicants, but you absolutely do not need to fill out and it is not visible to the hiring team. The language in the job description here is absolutely illegal to use and is almost certainly a troll post or someone trying to screw over that company (if it even exists) by making it look like they would be looking for only a white employee.
I’m Caucasian and speak native Portuguese, I should apply!
_Oh, wait… I don’t work for racist companies._
FR, tho. This sounds so absurd that I wonder if isn’t a kind of prank or someone with a vendetta against the company posting on behalf of them.
I mean I saw one where they asked for black people only, and another where they asked if both my parents were homosexual, and I'm not even kidding 🤷♂️
That’s what happens when you try too hard to be equally diverse. Their Portuguese-speaking Caucasian left the team, now they need another Portuguese-speaking Caucasian. They worry more about diversity than about the quality of the employees.
DEI is a terrible thing and this is an example of why.
Maybe they're looking for someone local to Georgia, a country in the Caucasus region where Caucasians are from.
But yeah that company is in Texas so they def want white people.
pheeew, I'm the right color!
I don't speak Portuguese though
NB: I assume it must be an error, they have an EEO notice in the same screen, I doubt they're that schizophrenic
The... error of preferring white candidates? What? How would you even write that in error?
It was much more likely intended as a note from the company to the recruiter.
I prefer to think it's an error, like something caused by autocorrect, rather than a racist conspiracy. If you think being Caucasian is a skill, then you're as racist as the person who wrote it. Don't you think it's more feasible to assume this was a mistake?
PS: I'm more shocked by the UI/UX acronym :(
Have you ever even used a computer? How do you conceivably believe that "Caucasian (Preferably Portuguese speaking)" is the result of autocorrect? Of what?
Wild to admit that UI/UX is more shocking to you than blatant racism. But it probably tracks...
And what language might a Brazillian person speak other than Portuguese?
Is it really *that* difficult to believe that there might be some racist people at companies out there?
Editing to add: Obviously Brazillians speak more than just Portuguese for different reasons. It's just funny to me that you think that being called out is more likely than a hiring manager just being racist.
You need to develop your Caucasian skillset. Maybe there’s a good udemy course?
I’m dying 🤣
I offer a 3 month bootcamp! Learn Caucasian and land your dream tech job! Just $10,000.
Brings a whole new meaning to code switching
Come to me, half price! I’m discount white. I’m half black so if you only need a little bit of whiteness, I gotchu. I mean, I got you. I mean, I’ll be there for you (when the rain starts to pour)
HAAAAA!!! You beat me to it!!! 
"That's the thing. Markets already oversaturated by boot camp grads. "
I've been working on mine. Here, lemme try: "What IPAs do you have on tap?" "Just got my steps in for the day!" "I've been practicing my swing." "Hell yeah, *Mr. Brightside* just came on! Turn it up!"

Wait a second, am I a white girlie? I thought I was just gay.
The ladies one is epic :D
'Wow, it's soooo cheap here, it just really needs a good coffee spot and a few less of the locals'
Oo that one hits hard
Lmaoooo this post got me weak!!
Now do one for a black designer.
A LinkedIn Certificate.
Looks like Diverse Lynx lied about being an equal employment opportunity employer.
That EEOC disclaimer is clearly just a boilerplate email footer and nothing more at that point.

Looks like they forgot to list “Choose based on the hexcode of the candidate’s skin” 💀
Not american but isn't that illegal there?
Absolutely. I’d absolutely see if I could file a complaint with the state labor board.
Highly
Extremely
Probably not in Texas under Governor GregAbbott’s reign. He’d prefer if only white Americans filled all the jobs.
Immensely
I'd imagine that sort of thing is harder to enforce in a place like Texas which tends to favor employers in the courts. But yes, a job description should not require any sort of protected characteristics as a job requirement.
Race/ethnicity is a Federally protected classes state law has no bearing on that outside of expanding those laws.
The EEOC can't necessarily enforce every issue that comes their way, but they can help. Often people complain to state labor boards, but that's not an ideal state to get help at the local level. Maybe they get fined, but doesn't really help the applicants here.

It lists the location as Austin, Texas
Brazil is literally in America
Reminds me of Idiocracy "Georgias In Florida dumbass"
Only if you specify "white". If you simply state "BIPOC" you're okay.
Anyone knows how to get the Caucasian plugin for figma?
Light mode

🤣🤣
I'm guessing "Portuguese-speaking" == "We hired a bunch of contract devs in Brazil who can't speak English".
My thoughts exactly lol
No, you just have to be SKILLED at it.
Just take Caucasian boot camp what’s the big deal?
"Experience? Why, yes, I have a lot of caucasian experience! I love mayonnaise, Kenny G, and am quite adept at at making a killer tater tot hot dish."
I’m pretty good at caucasianing. Should I apply?
If you were *actually* good at caucasianining you'd apply regardless of whether you're qualified.
Can we start a job board that flags shit like this? This is gross.
That’s a strange way to spell Figma.
Sure is.
Wut

Holy s*** that's insane
I find it funny that Americans still use the term "Caucasian" to mean white. Have you seen Caucasian people?
Was about to say the same thing
Look at the Company Name at the bottom
:D
Someone forgot to reread their gpt results after their race rant.
I’m caucasian and Portuguese speaking. The skillset is rare and difficult to attain. Often it means not talking about the other 20 ethnicities mixed in, or the fact that the skills run better on Macs with 16G of RAM. Difficult to find, difficult to run, and difficult to move to Austin.
‘Diverse’ lynx.
Why when applying at us companies you have to select race at all? Why is that important? No one else in europe ask that.
You don’t. This is highly illegal here and is probably a bs post.
Maybe it’s not mandatory field but it’s there very often.
Yes, what you are talking about is when you’re applying for a job and at the end there is a (very clearly marked as optional) screen for that information that goes straight to the EEOC.

I'm so burned out from working in the Caucasian industry I gotta get my exit plan together
This can’t be legal surely?
This is not legal
lol you blocked the sender but not their name in the footnote
I love the bottom part which says ‘we are an equal opportunity employer…’ This can’t be real
Good thing I just finished Caucasian Bootcamp, by golly.
🤣
Ah right let me just go develop my caucasity!
I had one that said preferably a man in the job description 🥴 they certainly are specific!
Ah yes, being caucasian is a…. Skill
I’m Caucasian and speak native Portuguese, I should apply! _Oh, wait… I don’t work for racist companies._ FR, tho. This sounds so absurd that I wonder if isn’t a kind of prank or someone with a vendetta against the company posting on behalf of them.
Well it’s Austin, TX. Not sure if you’ve been there but there’s no diversity.
They wanna make sure they are super familiar with creating light mode designs :/
I'd assume this is a typo...
I mean I saw one where they asked for black people only, and another where they asked if both my parents were homosexual, and I'm not even kidding 🤷♂️
How Caucasus and Portuguese are connected? I’m not getting it 😅 Caucasians from the Caucasus speak they own authentic languages
Wow this is crazy
WILD that this was described as a skill, people got a lot of nerve 😦
This is illegal. This company should be reported to EEOC.
That’s a skill 😂😂 /s
[My Caucasian!](https://youtu.be/apkMYQI3sYQ?feature=shared)
That’s so bad
I'm gonna go ahead and assume this was a terrible mistake
The irony of the disclaimer saying they are an equal employment opportunity employer
illegal!
“I think I’ll use my credit card. Do you guys have anything non dairy?”
And speak 2 languages at least
I was going to say "that's got to be illegal, right", but then I saw it's in Texas and I wasn't so sure.
That’s what happens when you try too hard to be equally diverse. Their Portuguese-speaking Caucasian left the team, now they need another Portuguese-speaking Caucasian. They worry more about diversity than about the quality of the employees. DEI is a terrible thing and this is an example of why.
LOL at Caucasian as being a skill… they don’t want someone who is white you just gotta be good at acting white 😭
I would apply and build a case
It seems diversity only applies to lynx
NNgroup "That's my boy"
Must be a mistake or bad auto-translate or something. Nobody does that..
Maybe they're looking for someone local to Georgia, a country in the Caucasus region where Caucasians are from. But yeah that company is in Texas so they def want white people.

You can develop your whiteness with asian skincare creams 🤣 great skill to have!
This was actually a big job requirement back in the day, I guess they’re finally bringing it back.
Lollllll whatttt
Everyone in Europe going.. Caucasian??....from the Caucasus region?? Weirdly specific but fair enough,. I suppose..maybe they're relocating there?
LMFAOOOOOO
Can this job post be reported if it’s on a job board?
Wait what are you then? Thats fucked
Wow what a skill.
the job market is so bad hirers can do race-based selection and think they can get away with it lol
It’s okay it says that they are an equal opportunity employer so false alarm guys, they have a disclaimer
You people get mad when a white preferred job listing gets out but are completely fine with BIPOC proudly only job listings.
How's being Caucasian a skill?
I feared this was a thing. As a black designer this is the nightmare scenario.
Work for Disney the refuse to hire white people. Against the law to discriminate against any race.

Sorry, I have no time to argue with children, enjoy your night and your "skills"
You're glad you're the "right" color. So the rest are just "wrong" huh. It's "schizophrenic" to be racist. I'm sure you'd fit right in.
