You know, there's no tribes in Eastern Europe and I highly doubt you come from an Afgany tribe, because if you did , you would know that looking down like that on someone is not appropriate.

Nip it in the bud. If Americans don't stand up now against what's happening, there's nothing stopping Trump from doing more bans on other countries.

Tech companies are protesting for good reason. For Google, Apple and game companies, this isn't just about ideologics. It's about business. If Trump stops them from hiring foreign people because of all that America first BS, those companies will decline big time. There's simply not enough talent in the US, you couldn't hire enough developers there even if you wanted to. 

I think you have a different understanding to what a tribe is than most people, in most countries across most cultures and backgrounds. 

Also, there is no culture / tribe / community I know off where looking down on someone is appropriate. And I can play the same card you did and say I know of no Turkish majority / minority, Tartar or not, that blindly accuses people of being racist and wishing death on others so I doubt you are a Tartar.

Now I'm not saying that it's not ok to have these opinions (or any opinion, for that matter), but at this point it seems to me like they are in the virtue signaling bandwagon. I'm probably nitpicking, but it looks like that to me because of how the video and the speech was made; token people at the front, the crossed arms and the self-pointed righteousness ("our anti-discrimination policies").

That said, it's not a shock either. Liberal dominated places (like videogame companies) might be on pressure to make a stand, and it better be the "correct" stand or they risk shame and business contacts in the industry, so it ends up being smart not sharing dissenting opinion (although I find it sad and a free speech impediment).

There might be bans on more countries, if they're linked to terrorism. But the goal still isn't to stifle diversity which is the narrative.

You're buying this fake narrative as well, there are plenty of people to employee from many countries not on the ban list. We're littlerally just talking about a few countries in the middle east and Africa. These bans are just temporary anyhow.

As I said before, if this executive order is really an attack on diversity its a faiure.

Or, you know, there is no hidden liberal agenda forcing them to do this and this is just their honest opinion? Maybe?

I don't get this gut reaction towards basic human decency that it can't possibly be genuine and has to be forced somehow.

I've seen the same thing with people claiming developers were succumbing to 'SJW pressure' when they had women/lgbt characters in leading roles (there's also notable exeptions like TLOU, where at least to my knowlegde this didn't happen). People seem more willing to believe that there are corrupt liberal executives in this world who force poor studios to include diverse characters than the more reasonable assumption that the developers just like having these characters in their games and executives care much more about microtransactions and not upsetting the status quo too much.

And yes, creative environments tend to breed and attract more open mindsets, but if you had a 'dissenting opinion' from the consensus and feared repercussions for it the smart thing to do (as a whole studio) would be to just stay quiet. Especially since Insomniac are the first game studio to take a stance on this to my knowledge. There is no bandwagon in the games industry to jump on yet. So to assume that this is not their real opinion and to imply that they in fact are secretly in favor of  the policys they are protesting is a little mind boggling. Not not mention seriously lacking respect for other peoples opinions and values.

Yes, maybe they're honest. If you read my following comments you should understand that my opinion is what it "appears" to me; I'm not assuming anything.

As for the bandwagon, I don't think the bandwagon can only be related to the relevant policy, I think the bandwagon encompases everything that is considered politically correct and signaling your righteousness.

It's only the beginning though. The Trump administration is already preparing a law to prevent companies from mass hiring people from foreign countries. I read an article about it but didn't understand everything as I'm not too much into the american system of hiring people from other countries, so I won't judge over it. But it's only natural that tech companies stand up against it and it's only natural that they do it right now and not when it's too late.
