you can have more diversity in a group of 'old white guys' who come from different backgrounds and different countries than in a 'rainbow' of people who grew up attending the same schools.

you can't tell diversity by looking at a picture.

"you can't tell diversity by looking at a picture."

you're trying very hard to use reason and logic... but it is and will be in vain.
resistance is futile, you will be assimilated....

There is no reasoning with people that take for truth with a straight face the postulate:

"Any subset F of a set E must exhibit the same statistically properties wrt to every conceivable properties than
the set E, regardless of F... except for gym club membership"

This is clear proof that you're not listening to the argument. Nobody is claiming that the kernel team's demographics should exactly match the world's demographics. But it's pretty clear that it doesn't even come close. It's so far off that anyone who claims that the kernel team is "diverse" is just laughable.
