I absolutely get that racial diversity is something we should have everywhere, but as I said, you do not know everyone’s ethnicity or skin color, because quite a few mods have decided not to show their real face
that is why I’m reacting, because the assumption that we are a 100% white group is actually wrong. In addition, the initial statement was “lack of diversity” not lack of pic, which is why I also pointed out that there is diversity in the group even tho it’s majority white. ☺️
I just want to point out that the discussion seems very America centric as well. Of course diversity is a good thing, but it's problematic if you give someone a position purely to make it diverse, what if 90-95% of the applicants were white, of course a lot of them are going to be that - which also makes sense if it is the case that a lot of the mods are Norwegian as well, as the majority of Norwegians are white. Also, white doesn't mean that there's just one homogenous culture as well, no matter how much Americans want it to be like that.
I also think it's fair to point out that a lot of the hype of gosupermodels revival are from old users, where the majority of those people were from European countries, especially the Nordic countries, and it's probably mostly these people who've wanted to be mods on the revived site as well.
