Year ago, I found myself in an airport line with some other Quakers on our way to a committee meeting. One of my companions started hitting on a young woman near us. She was White and stylish in a way that would totally fit in a FGC AYF cuddle puddle and he was proselytizing. It was obvious he was responding to her lookalike style.

I (sadly) worked for a company that does social media ads for megacorps (because they bought the news software company I was working for), and that talk was part of what made me flee.

It’s just a galling question. The problem isn’t with the diverse visitors. It’s with the meeting that can’t welcome them.
