I don't know why it is being viewed as seats being taken away or given up, tbh. I mean, it really kind of is, though. It's not necessarily literal but a bigger table with more seats is functionally the same thing as giving up your seat(s) if what you're interested in is the dynamics of power between two groups -- like if we were talking about Democrats and Republicans, for instance, I don't think anyone would be questioning this logic I take your point, though, that race relations aren't necessarily structured that same zero sum, confrontational way. --- He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor. ...

Kineth posted...Their addition will necessitate a bigger table Well that would be a bad situation, but I wouldn't envision such a big change at all in the process. Regardless, having liaisons to other communities and business prospects to develop, the pie would get bigger. Trades between the communities would see a boost in the growth of local economies of scale, leading to greater development. Still a 250% staff increase is definitely not a realistic scenario. --- If you're not looking for any honest discussion, agreement, meeting halfway or middle ground, don't bother arguing with me.

it's just a (hyperbolic) example
what is true is that adding people doesn't mean one person goes from full influence to zero influence rather it means all people go from 100% influence to 99% influence --- And when the hourglass has run out, eternity asks you about only one thing: whether you have lived in despair or not. ...

Kineth posted...Their addition will necessitate a bigger table I think its better optics. I mean, saying "we should add more voices to the discussion" will probably breed less antagonism than "half of your voices need to be silenced". --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

definitely better optics, and a slightly modified situation, it's not affirmative action
