You shouldn't make assumptions about people you don't know. You end up very wrong in some cases- like this one. And some (not me, by any means) might say that you reveal your own biases in these assumptions. And it doesn't look very pretty.

A lot of us would really appreciate it if you take this time to mature and think about how blatantly racist jokes can effect other members of our multi-cultural community.
If you think that it's an inconvenience to be banned from slack and that singing Disney songs is the right way to make amends... then I don't think you understand the real hardships that the targets of your joke went through and the pain that their descendants feel to this day. Hint: it's some of the worst **** that has ever happened to human beings.
Should we take into account how many times a user has been muted when considering them for moderators?

Actual diversity is a great thing. But why is it always about the color of our skin? Why not diversity in height, hair color, religion, social class, etc?
We do actually take these things into account when considering mods. We have actively sought women and people that live outside the US for instance. We've had several mods from various Asian countries. And like reaper said, demik was one of the original generation of moderators.I like this but you guys and gals forgot one continent of the world.
The Mexican continent?hey I said hispanic doesn't mean the new mod has to be mexican. mexico is a wasteland not continent

I believe Mexico is part of the North American continent. Time to finally get some North American mods!

Shall we start limiting the number of north american, european, asian, and australian/oceania members and offer incentives to south americans? Surely that will fix the "problem".
demik's so short we should start calling him Paragraph because he's too short to be an essay. Easily the laziest Mexican I know, he's only got 4 jobs.
but seriously, demik's the juan dude you can always count on. He wrote the book on trolling, no scratch that, he wrote the Manual. When you open it it says "In queso emergency, remember it's nacho problem."
We started at the border now we here! demik 2016

Have you ever thought that you don't know me? You don't know what race I am? Nor nationality? And that saying that this is the Trump supporter might be in any way considered offensive?
Of course not. Because only you have issues with being discriminated against. And I will say, that if you respond to this with one of your flippant, not meant, flip flops, then I will go there. And you'll look like an idiot.
The point still remains. Anyone put in any position should be qualified, by more than their gender, race, creed, or nationality. Should be qualified by more than cronyism or nepotism, nor any reason other than achievement. If you were serious, which you said that you were, than I countered with a need for more qualifications than those that you quoted, which is a perfectly valid stance. Quit asking for people to give you stuff. No one has ever given me anything, and I've gone out of my way to make sure that I've never accepted anything that I've not earned. In fact, I overachieve for just that reason. So there can be no question that I did deserve it by merit.QuoteI have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation Where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
That goes both ways. Discrimination should be neither given as an obstacle against, nor accepted as an advantage.

Just to say it: the intent of diversification efforts is to combat systemic and unconscious bias in the selection of leadership, and also to improve the atmosphere and effectiveness of institutions by having people of different backgrounds and perspectives present and able to affect decisions. It's a legitimate goal in its own right with real positive effects. Homogeneous groups tend to become myopic and echobox-ey.

I don't disagree with anything you've said. But inclusiveness? Quotas? That's combating the symptom, not the problem. And when you bring up that point- most dismiss you as part of the problem. I've seen the negative effects of trying to solve the problem by addressing the symptoms. The underlying problem just gets worse.

Not to mention that you're only addressing one factor of diversity - skin color. Differing backgrounds and perspectives are incredibly beneficial, but using skin color to correlate that is just another form of racism itself... I went to high school with an incredibly "diverse" group of people who all came from wealthy suburban families, and were in fact not very diverse at all.

Do you/the mod team think that "diversity" among the mod team is important for reasons other than timezones? I probably wouldn't be inclined to agree; our forum is almost entirely white/asian and male, and this is a keyboard forum after all. Does the mod team ever really encounter situations where the race/sex/nationality of the mods is of importance?
typical mexican thinking. everything has to go back to gardening.
Do you/the mod team think that "diversity" among the mod team is important for reasons other than timezones? I probably wouldn't be inclined to agree; our forum is almost entirely white/asian and male, and this is a keyboard forum after all. Does the mod team ever really encounter situations where the race/sex/nationality of the mods is of importance?
Timezones is a big practical reason to look for non-US mods, yes. And I also think that diversity is valuable as I said above, so speaking for myself yes I do think it's helpful to seek out women and people of color. We don't have anything formal in place to ensure diversity, but it's something we've thought about and discussed when reviewing mod applications and deciding who we like and who brings what to the table. The white/straight/male majority has no issues expressing itself or being represented in leadership due to sheer numbers. Sometimes that majority can be ****ty as **** and the fact that we have (relatively) diverse leadership is valuable in determining what's ok to let slide and what isn't.typical mexican thinking. everything has to go back to gardening.

I don't disagree with anything you've said. But inclusiveness? Quotas? That's combating the symptom, not the problem. And when you bring up that point- most dismiss you as part of the problem. I've seen the negative effects of trying to solve the problem by addressing the symptoms. The underlying problem just gets worse.

You haven't quite satiated my curiosity though, and I'm hoping that you might be able to go into more detail. This really is only for my curiosity's sake though, so I'd understand if you'd rather not.

Specifically: I still wonder what kind of situations arise on this forum where having people of different backgrounds is beneficial. Could you give any examples?

Specific examples? The recent hubub about misogyny, or race issues when people like e.g., Krogenar was active a few years ago and making what a lot of people felt were very problematic statements. Homophobic posts from people like iri, for another example. When deciding what to do in these situations, it helps to have a broad variety of opinion and experience, ideally from a member of the demographic in question.

Wow! Really Hoff? I expected more from you. This is like saying "Do we need racial diversity?", I am appalled by your statement. I believe Geekhack should have a seminar on racial diversity so all moderator of geekhack are more conscious about other race and cultures. I believe demik has the potential to teach you guys about racial equality.Amen brother! Your righteousness is truly reminiscent of this other A* post!!!A lot of us would really appreciate it if you take this time to mature and think about how blatantly racist jokes can effect other members of our multi-cultural community.
If you think that it's an inconvenience to be banned from slack and that singing Disney songs is the right way to make amends... then I don't think you understand the real hardships that the targets of your joke went through and the pain that their descendants feel to this day. Hint: it's some of the worst **** that has ever happened to human beings.

Nobody mentioned quotas. Asking "why is there no hispanic mod?" says nothing about quotas.
I don't think I've seen a black geekhacker, now that you bring it up.

lewdShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/KaKzJIi.png)I am going to edit the poster to displease everyoneDue to the lack of Hispanic representation on Geekhack I believe we should nominate Demik for moderator.
It's demik not Demik.
At least he got the poster right.

Now there is a name I haven't seen in a long time.I don't think I've seen a black geekhacker, now that you bring it up.Go see tauburn then.
Also, I think diversifying Geekhack with mods who aren't ****ed in the head is a great idea. Regardless of their race.
