> Why stick to the insular Silicon Valley club and not get someone who's devoted their life to civil rights? There are a ton of community activists who could actually bring a fresh perspective.
They would. But the sad cold truth of the matter is that no one wants a fresh perspective. They just want to virtue signal the mob as much as they can to preempt the mob storm troopers before they get stoned and cancelled without affecting their business, which is why the pick is a Silicon Valley insider, someone they are sure knows what's best for business and won't try to destroy the business.
> Tech leadership in Silicon Valley does not appear inclined to affect change.
Exactly. Everyone wants change and revolution and mob violence as long as it is outside their gated community. No one, either the rich black NBA players or the Pirates of the Silicon Valley, want change and mobs in their gated community. They really like it as it is.
