[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ridiculous. Getting upset about this is basically telling people “please awkwardly invite a certain number of POC to any gathering, no matter how inorganic or token those invites might be, so that your Instagram photos will be diverse.” Like, come on.

Comparing this to workplaces or magazine spreads is insulting— there are lots of qualified POC who could work at HuffPo or who belong on a “Women in Hollywood” magazine cover, do their exclusion in those instances does reflect a lack of diversity and a missed opportunity.

But the idea that every dinner party must include a certain percentage of POC (and agree with other posters that it’s interesting that being an Asian woman is apparently not diverse here) is just weird. It’s not even a question of having diverse friend groups because what if you have a diverse friend group but the POC in your life are randomly all out of town or have a conflict. Do you cancel the dinner party?

Also, it’s just interesting that “diversity” has come to mean exactly one thing, and it’s a thing you can determine by looking at a photo of faces. When a truly diverse society would be diverse along many metrics. This dinner might be diverse in many ways, but we only care about the one. Ok.[/quote]

Agree, why is there only one group that seems to represent diversity?  They've cried so much about it they are now over represented in the entertainment business. [/quote]
