I have never advocated for a quota system and I am not optimizing for diversity. Perhaps you should go argue with someone who holds those views, as I find this irritating and tiresome.

And here you construct a ridiculous scenario to generate false intuitions. In particular, you are trying to generate the exact false intuition I pointed out with my first post: the notion that "there just aren't enough competent non-straight-white-dude speakers to fill out a conference list". It's horseshit. Peddle it elsewhere.
