But how is saying "we want a more diverse group" a snub?
- julianmarq 9y agoPostponing it because they aren't "diverse" enough is a snub.
- selllikesybok 9y agoAgain, how so?
- julianmarq 9y agoLet's imagine someone organizes a conference and every single speaker ends up being a black woman. The organizers proceed to postpone it because it isn't "diverse" enough. Now you'll tell me that you'd think they did the right thing and that you won't consider that a snub. And I sure will believe that.
- selllikesybok 9y agoLet me know if that ever actually happens. I'd be happy to discuss when it does.
- julianmarq 9y ago> Let me know if that ever actually happens. As I knew, this is what you hope starts happening. So don't pretend that what you want is diversity, it was patently obvious from your first statement that it isn't what you want, and your backpedaling in every single reply didn't work. Glad you're back to your original intent, though, it's honest.
- selllikesybok 9y agoThere have been many open submission conferences with speakers who are all male. And all white. And a few both. Are there any open submission conferences which have had speakers who are all WoC? It seems like a distraction to discuss hypothetical diversity problems that don't exist, instead of real ones that do.
