Good point. Traditionally white men are massively underrepresented and we should be making more of an effort to make sure they're represented at every level of tech. /s

Do you not realize that judging based on skin color was the same reason the idea of 'representation' exists? A vote should hold equal weight regardless of who you are or what you look like.

You want to judge people by the content of their character instead of their skin color? That's racist.

Exactly.

Except, that isn't what happens right now. Most people aren't intending to make decisions based on skin colour, yet it happens.
