Open source projects are by their nature intended to be welcoming, pulling in contributions from many different volunteers. But in reality, open source and the tech industry in general often lack diversity. Speaking at the Open Source Leadership Summit in February, Mozilla's Chief Innovation Officer Katharina Borchert told the crowd that working to bring ethnic, gender, and skill diversity to open source projects isn't just the right thing to do because of moral grounds, it's the right thing to do to make projects more successful.
Me, I beg to differ. Pretty sure success has to do with the diversity of thought/ideas rather than genetic diversity.

Depo-Provera is prescribes to refuges and in family planning centers both in the states, Europe and Asia which ends up targeting minority groups since it's the poor and immigrants that use those centers ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medroxyprogesterone_acetate#Controversy [wikipedia.org] ). It's like how sex-ed classes give away condoms mostly in poor schools seeing how the rich kids can afford pills and rubber so in practice any state running sex-ed classes is effectively working to reduce minority groups numbers.
As for the actual beauty pageants, yeah obviously political move. But why else would you have those stupid rituals if not to appease the masses?
