@starsandrobots for G I/O they were probably asking so they could say something like "30% of our speakers are women and underrep minorities" -
@octal no I know. It's just so searingly oblivious. -
@octal I'm still on page 1 by the way. I suck at this. -
@starsandrobots "I find your form problematic." -
@octal honestly, I'd rather just ramble about the good things I remember about my mother, prove I'm not a replicant and move on. -
@starsandrobots Maybe you should send them an essay or a drawing instead of filling in form? -
@octal I can fold a piece of paper into a hat, a brooch, a pterodactyl??

@starsandrobots@mollyfud For their purposes just have a single checkbox that you check IFF you're "an underrepresented minority such as..." -
-
@starsandrobots@mollyfud A checkbox is also a win because it's even less work to process AND gives them a "better" score. -
@octal@starsandrobots By the way, could be horribly wrong in my thought/suggestion that it could be for reporting,it was just a thought. -
@mollyfud@starsandrobots A pantone-type color is probably better for pure ID purposes than "race"-via-parentage (tans complicate things) -
