I’d like to point out that the main post is written in a somewhat “culture war”-y style, which is why it has attracted so many comments/criticisms (and within 3 days it already has more comments than any other thread one these forums, ever, as far as I can tell). Here’s a somewhat similar thread that makes some good suggestions about diversity without getting too much into politics: http://effective-altruism.com/ea/mp/pitfalls_in_diversity_outreach/ (also take a look at the top comment).

Yeah, the original post was much more culture war-y, but fortunately Kelly edited it to make it less so.
