Back to work. I begin
making my own Cunning Plans for the diversity task force (da-da-da-DA!!).
On Twitter® and the IPKat, some folk are still banging on
about the stupidness of trying to improve diversity. They say: if you are going to start support
groups for women and Asians and gays and state school-educated slobs and all
sorts of other weirdos, then you should also start a support group for white
middle class men. To which I say: we
already have support groups for white middle class men. They are all over the place. They are called Board Meetings and Partners’
Meetings and Council Meetings and if you are a white middle class male in IP
and have not yet found your way to one of these support groups then you probably
have a lot more to worry about than competition from black transgender
women. Better start scanning the job
adverts.
I do not understand the problem with trying to improve
diversity, anyway. Call me naïve, but
does it not simply boil down to Being Nice to People? And if you spot people who look lonely or
vulnerable, should you not be Extra Nice to them? #Justsaying.
