I respect your attitude and would feel the same in your shoes.
I assure you I was making no such assumption. I am quite strongly
opposed to playing diversity bingo for its own sake, and have in fact
caught flak from SJW types for saying so in public.
Still, it is a fact that a lot of projects these days do make such a
special effort. And the anthropologist in me sees something a bit unusual
and wonders what the causation is.
