Because "racially and genderly diversifying the the computer science
field is import because _ _ _ _ !"
Of course, that's a really easy question to answer.
"But ... PRIVILEGE MOFO!" is what then comes back.
Take notice:
- holding first my duty to myself is not evil
- holding first my duty to my family is not evil
- holding first my duty to my principles is not evil
- holding first my duty to my [ ethnic | racial | national ]
preferences is not evil
- holding that merit is more important than "geographically localised
XYZ diversity", is not evil
Feel free to wallow in the evil of your so called privilege and your
so-called "evil" lack of geographically localised XYZ diversity!
Suck it up buttercup, I'm getting on with my life!

Sometimes I do wonder at humans ... amazing creatures.
