“I’m assuming people think discussion of inclusion issues is a terrible idea.”
This is a misreading. I’m almost sure you were downvoted because readers perceived this to be the reverse of the truth: “I think it weird, given there’s so much mainstream discussion of inclusion, that it hasn’t seemed to penetrate into EA.”
It’s a topic that has been discussed intensely, frequently and continuously in EA since its inception, both online and off. If someone had asked me to compile a list of the all-time most-discussed topics in EA, this would be near the top. That’s not to say we shouldn’t continue discussing it here of course and I appreciate Kelly’s quite comprehensive list of the possible ways we could try to increase diversity in the community.
