150. OK. Now how about 140? Is it still OK? 120? Do we still get an article like this one if it's 120? How about 170? Do we have the opposite problem or is 170

150. OK. Now how about 140? Is it still OK? 120? Do we still get an article like this one if it's 120? How about 170? Do we have the opposite problem or is 170 still good diversity?
And it's not just for black people. We need the same numbers for women, Latino, native, Asian, transgender, homosexuals, bisexuals, body disabled people, people with mental disease, people from low income family...
An of course we need to define each category. When are you black enough? Do you need both your parents to be black or is one enough? How about Asian? Are Indians considered Asians here? At what stage of your transition should you be to be considered transgender? Do you have to transition to be included in the transgender bucket?
- lsiebert 11y agoI'm not at all sure what point you are trying to make. I would say working to increase diversity is a lot like firefox, or the linux kernel, or another open source project, where you keep working and making things better, but you never really finish. As you work, you also develop better tools and metrics that more accurately reflect performance. It's a process of improvement, not a solution.
