Watching tech folks "explain" Gebru's firing as normal, with their own stories of injustice, I'm reminded of survivorship bias in institutions:

For those who stay & advance, our attempts to "help" others navigate institutions can reproduce injustices we didn't or couldn't fight
I worry about this all the time in my mentorship.

How much of my work to reveal the "hidden curriculum" of higher ed are just reproducing injustices that I navigated—things that others could transcend or transform if they don't accept them as givens? I'm sure I've done it often
