With all I've heard on this

With all I've heard on this podcast concerning diversity and race on this podcast, I wonder why it's basically "white." I wonder how many black people in a room it takes to get Betty scared...

Race

I mean, you don't exactly know the race of every person who has ever been on the podcast, dude. FWIW Akio is half-Japanese, Aby is black, I'm half-middle eastern, et cetera. But I also think we have more of an emphasis on the treatment of women in media (at least in recent yearas) and I think you will agree that this show has way more women on it than your average nerd podcast.

You're right. I've never

You're right. I've never assumed who's from what background. I only took from what was explicitly said. I only learned that Akio is half-Japanese from when you reviewed that Japanese punk documentary.

You're definitely right that most podcasts are unbearably sausagey. I don't think I've heard a podcast besides this one with more than 3 women on it.

And yet I went through life

And yet I went through life thinking we were all equal.
