Topic	Diversity Isn't "Being in the Room" - Its Whites Giving Up Their Seats

I'm getting to appreciate the honesty: yeah we want inclusion, but are only included if you are giving up lots of privilege and property all for our benefit. Makes me feel so much less guilty about ignoring them. Yeah, same here. In the end, that's pretty much what's going to happen, largely on its own. A boardroom full of 20 old white guys isn't suddenly "diverse" by adding a nigh-ceremonial 21st seat and sticking a woman or black guy in it. Forced diversity isn't actual diversity, regardless of who's forcing it. Having X% of your company/board be women or black people or brown people or white-people-from-a-different-country-in-Europe or unicorn-kin isn't actual diversity either. --- Do good. <cite>FLUFFYGERM posted [p:895120133] in Diversity ...
