    Having worked with a bunch of Boomer and older Gen X EEs, it is a fucking misogynistic boys club of white ass old men with undiagnosed autism. I have never heard so many racist and sexist jokes in the workplace (except when I worked in VC, and those guys were JUST sexist).

    So this surprises me not at all (in fact, I think I’ve heard it before, but as “Black Boys * * *”).

      It’s actually worse still. When I first heard it, the second B wasn’t “boys”. I’m Gen X and it was disgusting to hear even back then. Please don’t lump us in with the boomers. A lot changed in a few short years.
