What does this solve, exactly?
But it's cute that she thinks she has a leg to stand on, what with her employer being so heavily "diverse." Github looks really progressive, for sure-- they have a remote, multinational workforce.
It's a shame that workforce isn't paid evenly. One's value should not diminish based on what geopolitical borders they happen to reside within.
"We're providing opportunities to ___." No, you're outsourcing to southeast Asians and homeless Europeans and paying them less than others to do the same job. I hear the same nonsense pitched to interns to get them to work for free. It's exploitation. If an employee provides consistent remote labor to a company, their pay should not be adjusted to their coordinates or "inexperience."
It's almost like they think some people are worth less than others and should be exploited based on arbitrary features.
If you're going to proselytize about making the world a more equitable place through reverse racism, try not to stand on a soapbox literally built from exploitation of a foreign workforce.
