As a white person, I'm so sorry to hear about your internalized racism. /s In all seriousness though, this is an aspect I really detest about anything related to "diversity". It doesn't really seem like it's ac

I think this battle has been lost already. Pretty much all of the non-tech people I know firmly believe the "why do I need anonymity if I'm not doing anything wrong" line of thinking. The powers that be really don't like
