Re:Diversity in tech: still an issue in 2013? by natrius on Friday January 04, 2013 @04:44AM (#5006943)
Choosing people primarily because they add diversity is tokenism. There are processes that are effective in obtaining underrepresented speakers that are effective and don't require choosing people because they're a minority. We should use those.

I really don't think we should label conferences failures because they do a poor job on the diversity front. Instead, we should encourage them to do a better job next time and show them how.
