&quot;I can’t support a conference that doesn’t seem to understand the value and importance of intersectionality and representation.&quot;<p>Doesn&#x27;t this just promote the idea that people of different ethnicities really are that different? Why on earth is skin colour &quot;representation&quot; an important factor anywhere? I mean don&#x27;t discriminate but how is this an argument?<p>This just promotes the wrong idea that people of different ethnicities bring drastically different things to the table in one breath, and argues that race or gender do not affect technical ability with the next.<p>How this insane person has people listening to them or why a completely backwards article on the right site gets linked here is beyond me.
