>not having even token local or female representation Assuming you mean exactly what you say and I'm not being overly pedantic, I think token representation is not a great concept in itself. Equal opportunity vs equal outcome, if either is unequal for any reason then only one is achievable. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for helping people access resources they otherwise wouldn't have access to. But later down the time line, when they go to apply for a position, it should be done without race or sex. >Naomi criticised Make for not having even token local or female representation at Makerfaire Shenzhen, criticism which immediately preceded Dales dummy spit retaliation. I wasn't aware of the back story, but a lack of female representation does not equate to lack representation in general. I'm not defending Dale though, regardless it was a bad move on his part. >you can't criticise them On the contrary, I think white, rich males are easier to criticize than ever given the current social stirrings (in the West at least). I think all of them try to get dirt on their attacker, it's just these guys were caught and called out for it.
