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 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 Claire wrote:
yes omg precisely this. like it's not a personal attack on any of the ppl on that list who i'm sure are all lovely (except for the disney adults /j /j /j) but let's all agree that even if it turns out just fine, it looks so badKit wrote:
also since some girlies are feeling personally attacked. diveristy doesn't mean all the ppl on the mod list are bad ppl or shouldn't be on there or *specifically* shouldn't be on there bc they're white. y'all are all great and prob deserve it. but it's also true that a more diverse mod group (in ages, gender, location, and yes also race/ethnicity) might be more effective at moderating a potentially diverse online group.
like... a group of 50 white european women in their 20s/30s, however talented and balanced and reasonable they are, MIGHT end up having blind spots when it comes to certain moderation issues
and nobody said racial diversity isthe only kind of diversity either. theyre very possibly a diverse group in other ways like sexuality and disablity or veteren status or religions or somehting but acting like racial diversity doesnt matter when you already have other kinds of diversity is a honestly weird takealso since some girlies are feeling personally attacked. diveristy doesn't mean all the ppl on the mod list are bad ppl or shouldn't be on there or *specifically* shouldn't be on there bc they're white. y'all are all great and prob deserve it. but it's also true that a more diverse mod group (in ages, gender, location, and yes also race/ethnicity) might be more effective at moderating a potentially diverse online group.
