At the Effective Animal Advocacy Symposium, Garrett Broad pointed out in his talk that the 2015 Survey of Effective Altruists did not ask about race, which is worrying given how overwhelmingly white the movement is. To my knowledge this makes at least two public critiques of the movement on this specific topic.
He points out that the best way to deal with race issues is not to ignore the issue, but to bring it front and center. Could we please be sure to include a question about race on the 2016 version of this survey?
EDIT: Here’s an image. I’ll upload a video of his talk once ACE puts the videos of the conference online.
EDIT: The video is here. It’s titled “Advocacy for Education” and Garret Broad’s section of the talk begins at 33:20.
