the woman made a perfectly valid statement, only when you try to rephrase it, reframe it, and use all these ridiculous "high academic" constructions and deconstructions of language do you come up with anything remotely offensive

thought diversity, economic diversity--it's all fucking real, 12 white people can be diverse, it's not race race race race obsessed race race race race

"The phrasing is very poor."

And I’ve often told people a story– there can be 12 white blue-eyed blonde men in a room and they are going to be diverse too because they’re going to bring a different life experience and life perspective to the conversation. The issue is representation and mix and bringing all the voices into the room that can contribute to the outcome of any situation. So I focus on everyone, but I also focus on allies and alliances because to DeRay’s point, there’s an incredible amount of power in those who have platforms or those who have the benefit of greater representation to tell the stories of those who do not.
