Not sure what literally any of your comments mean, but thanks for the troll!
cliffseal··on A Practical Way to Fight Sexism in Tech Today (Literally, Today)
We're devolving here.

Note that my post was specifically regarding GoDaddy fostering sexism (intentionally or not), but that many of the discussions _also_ involve being diverse in other areas. For instance, the very first link in my article is to one called "The Problem with a Slate of White, Male Speakers". So, please, find that discussion elsewhere as it's happening—but, I had nothing to say on ethnicity other than pointing out my own for clarity's sake and stating that it shouldn't matter.

I had no intention of inferring that, as I often make that point myself. The sentence you first referred to stated:

"But, all that aside, we’re still in the middle of a long, long discussion in our industry about attracting people who aren’t white males (which I am)."

...which is an observation of a discussion, not a statement about demographics, and that discussion is happening whether it's actually relevant or not.

I believe it occurred while he was CEO, but I'm happy to update that language to be more correct. I don't want that to be any sort of focus of this writing.

Perhaps, but the point here was to encourage us to discuss things with the non-'tech-savvies'.

That's a shame, because I address that idea in, literally, the next line.
