You’re right in that ethnic diversity is not always apparent or accurate in pictures, but I’ve found that pictures and names on an organization’s website give you a pretty good indicator. I don’t think that looking for or discerning an organization’s diversity has anything to do with discrimination or profiling – it has everything to do with seeing if the entity executed equitable board/talent recruitment and development.

I am bothered by the comment in the article “The board of directors and senior staff members appear to have significant gender diversity (which is typical of the industry), but there are few pictures, so it is impossible to assess racial/ethnic diversity.” There are so few pictures?? Ethnic diversity is not always apparent or accurate in pictures and it seems very imprecise and unfair to “judge” based on looks alone. Isn’t this discrimination or profiling in a sense?

When one considers how many children in our society are not cared for, it’s amazing that such self-serving bias can determine what constitutes a “family.” This is a good entree into recognizing and respecting each other’s rights to be all of who they are, and not merely tolerating. I trust that Will, Juan and their son will enjoy a peaceable participation at the club.
