I agree that there's a problem with diversity but believe that it's a white persons problem. Once they're done convincing themselves that they're not racist, the rest of us can carry on talking about ruby.
- williamdix 14y agoI agree with the OP, not because I am trying to prove to others/convince myself that I am not racist. I agree with them precisely because I recognize that I benefit from privilege as a white male, and that I suffer from biases towards those that are different from me. I believe that I need to think critically and deeply about the privilege I enjoy and the bias that I possess, and I encourage others to do so.
