@sheriffderek I'm not saying the Asian's are not a minority; quite the opposite actually. I feel like it's ridiculous to say a conference is not diverse when they include hispanic and Asian speakers. Race is much more than black and white.

@davejlong I know what you are saying, but I'm saying that I still see mostly white men. But I know what you mean too.

@azuredivay yeah, I'm pretty sure that if there was a person with tons of open source contributions and was doing really innovative things and who was also a great speaker, they would be speaking at conferences no matter their ethnicity or background.
Found this in our codebase, apparently one of my co-workers had written this
I was talking to someone recently who organizes a conference and told me that some people complained that the speaker list wasn't diverse enough because he had only 2 women and no racial minorities. Apparently the numerous Asian (Indian and Oriental don't count), nor the the organizer who is in a minority. Only African (specifically black) counts a d's minority nowadays. We now have a world with I finite gender identities and only 2 races. 😰
