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.

Yes, they can make high probability guesses about geographic origin. But geography is not race.
More than close enough for me, particularly given the destructive blow up they'd receive if they did claim ethnicity rather than geographic origin.

Of course its enough for you, you are pretty fucking stupid after all.
Unable to argue with the facts, you just assert that your politics is the truth.
Don't you ever try to make an argument based on science again.

So are you claiming that ethnicity has nothing to do with geographic origin or that scientists won't get dog piled if they say that there's a genetic element to ethnicity?
And what is "politics" here? Making an argument that didn't fit with your biases. Sounds like a label that has nothing to do with the real deal.

Pretty dumb thing to say even considering the "fucking stupidity" I supposed did was a science-based argument. Instead of feebly attempting to discourage me from making science-based arguments, I have a better idea - how about you give science-based argument a try? It'll be good for you.
