Sure, I think we are saying the same thing? It's easier to lie about diversity and inclusion now that it has become popular. Maybe even mandatory because many people want to attend a school or work at a company that values diversity. I remember during orientation they showed a Pride video. I thought it was unrelated but my co-workers teared up. Previously, companies wouldn't have bothered or knew how to.
- matt4077 9y agoI have no idea what you're trying to say, and name-dropping Ellen Pao doesn't help. It seems like you're faulting society's wish to increase diversity for lies about diversity. And, sure, that's true in the sense that being ask about the issue is necessary for an untruthful answer–but that's just a meaningless truism. Large changes take time, and there are always setbacks on the way. The environmental movement created the concept of "greenwashing", which seems similar. But even that is progress of sorts, because it's literally "PR for environmentalism". When it's exposed, it promotes schemes such as certifications. And even when not exposed, it establishes good practices as the new norm for next generation.
- kelukelugames 9y agoThanks for telling me the comment is unclear. I'm working on writing better. It's a complaint against liars and hypocrites. That's what I'm trying to say. Name dropping Ellen Pao never helps on HN or reddit. People here really don't like her, whereas she's a hero in other spheres. Nevertheless, I don't agree with everything she did but she offers insight people miss.
