Do you think it is possible that EA could be majority white affluent male because programmers, philosophers, mathematicians, ect. are disproportionately white affluent male and EA has become good at recruiting these specific audiences?
I think that’s a huge part of the reason why we overrepresent people the demographics we do. But offloading responsibility onto part of the pipeline below us isn’t sufficient, least of all when we can source from other pipelines.
