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.

You mean like Asians? Funny how success in the tech industry conspicuously matches with the propensity for hard work among each population group. It's almost like there could be a causative relationship there or something.... naaah must be racism!

We are in post factual world, or so the Marxists keep telling us. "Repeat a lie often enough" and that kind of nonsense. Soon they will outlaw 2+2=4 as form of hate speech because it oppresses the poor little minority kids who are not good at math. To them "2+2=5" is much easier so therefore it should be that way and we will make things more equal.
