Diversity in tech is important. When we only hire people who look like us, we are locking others out of the opportunity that we enjoy. it's not what you call "politically correct," and it certainly is "white privilege" to ignore it when some of the world's most influential minds are thinking about this subject.

If you had children who were born of color and those children kept seeing photos like this one, those children might be discouraged to apply for these roles, because they would see no one like them on the team. It's sad that it's not obvious to you, but it's obvious to me and to others, which is why there is a discussion about diversity and inclusion in the workforce. We want people from diverse backgrounds to contribute to the conversation and if we ignore the issue, then we don't learn from their experiences and grow as a society. We keep people out and we keep them from earning and realizing investment in the same things we (predominantly white tech workers) benefit from.
