I still don't think he's got the point that every last one of his expanded suggestions are likely to result in a mediocre monoculture.
And yay for sending your employees to places they can meet more young white straight guys.
- bengale 12y agoWhy young white straight guys? Honest question. Is this an issue at conferences?
- moomin 12y agoHonest questions deserve honest answers: Even conferences aren't particularly diverse. If they were, you probably wouldn't have had things like the PyCon incident. (http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/PyCon_2013_forking_and_dongles_incident http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/PyCon_2013_forking_and_do...) (Note that here the conference organizers were trying to be diversity aware, but the backlash from people who didn't want them to be was huge.) More on the state of women's employment in the tech industry: http://aboutfeminism.me/ http://aboutfeminism.me/ When I started paying attention to this, I thought there was an issue, but it wasn't that serious. The more I learn, the more serious I think it is. I don't know as much about race and sexuality as I do gender, but I get the impression isn't all dancing through the flowers there either.
