Even if you are not a fan of affirmative action or any of it's million synonyms, I hope you can see the disparity between various groups of people in the gaming industry, and appreciate the need to close the gaps.<br /><br />Creating diversity in the workforce does not have to mean promoting one race or gender over another. It could simply mean creating programs designed to foster excitement and encouragement for younger generations in many areas. Establishing interest at an early age for anyone, no matter if you are white, black, hispanic, gay, straight, lesbian, Muslim, Christian, etc. can help attract people. <br /><br />In my opinion, there are better alternatives to affirmative action, and I think you are completely correct in pointing this out. In the article, I avidly stuck to the problem and avoided discussing the solution. Was it a little cowardly? Perhaps, but this is a GW2 blog, and creating controversy for the sake of controversy can be harmful to both our readers and the blog.Entombedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01844589959064626132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171316701044436647.post-65366731602871129942012-07-30T18:37:51.402-07:002012-07-30T18:37:51.402-07:00I've enjoyed your blog up until this point. D...I've enjoyed your blog up until this point. Diversity for diversity's sake has been a toxic anthem. I find it far more offensive to suggest that a person needs to be given greater consideration for a position than another to "equalize" the social representation of the people involved. A more honest endeavor is to pick the most qualified person for a position regardless of various social factors. "Most qualified" should not begin to be defined by race or gender. A great example is I'm offended when someone suggests that my black friends are not qualified for an achievement of their own merit and NEED greater consideration because of the color of their skin. Now that is racist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8171316701044436647.post-48781939805836072412012-07-28T18:09:15.787-07:002012-07-28T18:09:15.787-07:00I really enjoyed this article and it opens up a lo...I really enjoyed this article and it opens up a lot of debates. I've always thought about this, especially when people talk about gender equality in other fields, I always come back to gaming and notice who exactly are sitting on developers panels and such. <br />That's what I love about ArenaNet, seeing who exactly is part of content creation is awesome.Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566469138772884787noreply@blogger.com
