When does the author reduce diversity to different skin colors?

• adwn 5y ago
  When their graph titled "Tech Journalism Is Less Diverse Than Tech" only shows "white" vs non-"white". When their statistic, introduced with "highlight of the results", only contains data points about "white" vs non-"white". There's not much else to this article. Therefore, the author reduces diversity to skin colors.

    In the context of the article white and black are supposed to be races and says as much. There are “black people” who are light skinned, and there are people darker than “black people” who are not considered black.

      > There are “black people” who are light skinned, and there are people darker than “black people” who are not considered black. Wtf? That's literally the opposite of true. What's next, will you claim that there are "blondes" with brunette hair, and "dark-haired people" who are considered redheads?

        Black doesn’t mean your skin is literally black, lol. Can’t take you seriously tbh. Are Native Americans Black? Certain Indians? Samoans? Give me a break lol Comparing blondes with Black people is an inane comparison
