   If your group of hackers isn't weird and at least slightly uncomfortable, you aren't actually diverse in the meaningful sense.

     @Moon Yet I don't think "bunch of weirdos" is Corporate-Diverse™ compatible.

     @Moon more diverse than the average dsa group would be good enough for me

     @Moon "The meaningful sense" would be group members having had different experiences and life paths, so that people come at problems from differing directions. They could also have different ancestries and plumbing and sexualities, but that isn't going to be the focus. The thing about that kind of diversity is that it also means there's friction over most decisions and over solutions to most problems, so people need to learn conflict resolution strategies almost from the beginning.

     @lanodan @Moon That's probably why they focus more on the most shallow form of diversity which is physical traits that we don't have control over. It's also the most visible form so it lets them say they are diverse through appearance and branding alone. Not something that they will get people questioning as much if they can show diversity in a visible way.
     
     Well, it is that and they want that funding by showing how proudly diverse they are through being given awards for it by very specific groups. You don't see it for hiring non-minorities. It is very telling when they have pages on diversity showing these charities for minorities giving them awards.
