Thank you. It looks like there's been a steady up trend for gender diversity (starting from 2014), even if women to men in tech positions are 2:8. Although, the racial diversity is abysmal.

Ideas should (albeit this is an idealistic notion) be judged by their content, not who speaks them. I'm well off and I have white skin, yet I started in poverty and I was discriminated against for the non-western country I came from. W

I think it's important to require quotes alongside so to make discussion easier, by not having to force others to read long single-spaced 14px pages, and more accurate, by allowing the discussion to narrow in on the specific points. 1)

I agree with you there. If someone unintentionally offends another, an apology, followed up with extras (e.g clarification) where needed, is the correct course of action. My only gripe was with semantics, which have the potential to do more
