Re: [Diversity] IETF Diversity Update

Thanks, SM.

The blog was from me as an individual and the chart from Jari.

On reading more [1], I came across this: "Many people who don't have a drop of malice or prejudice but happen to be older or distant from university, media and government spheres find themselves tainted as bigots for innocently using passed terms ..."
