I love the “nothing in nature is true black so don’t use #000000” argument. Correct, nothing is, and your #000000 won’t be either once it’s shown on a physical screen.

I'm curious, if this is a matter of self-identification, why don't people "play the system" by identifying as whatever-moves-the-diversity-needle in order to get themselves ahead? Why don't "straight white Amer

Held too many strong opinions for really no good reason other than technical "virtue signaling" of sorts. At the time, it felt so right. I had all the perfect, rational arguments. Years passed, experience and nuance decayed the st
