I tend to dislike "encouraging diversity" because humans are lazy and like quick and visible fixes.

In your post at 1:04 you ended "If SEC wants more diversity, they should think about these types of things."

I was trying to counter that it can be very difficult to recruit passively, either for an organization or a university. Recruiting actively can seem like pandering.

This is why I wanted you to directly connect your post with the purpose behind my post. I don't want predominantly white GLOs doing any recruitment beyond what they already officially do. The purpose behind my first post that you quoted is that BGLOs do things how we do them for a reason. And we typically do not act shocked and baffled that outcomes such as race and ethnicity of the majority of membership is the way it is. A supposed white aspirant should know that.

I am also never giving white GLOs pointers or tips. I'm discussing the larger point of race and ethnicity that can tie into GLOs. You cannot purport ANY kind of diversity (race, religion, sexual orientation, culture, etc) if there is no backdrop to the different groups represented. The different racial and ethnic groups represented have to assimilate into your GLO identity and offer their own insights but they don't have to assimilate into whiteness disguised as colorblindness. And if some white GCers (not you) needed me to tell them this, that is proof of the larger non-GLO problem that some of us have been discussing in this thread.
