The ironic thing is that it's about 97% white women, with one or two black women who have been invited to speak yet somehow end up in the promotional photos and Twitter feed to make the event and industry look much more diverse than it actually is.<br /><br />The 3 Percent movement has the power to ask ad agencies for their ethnicity numbers, but they won't. They're hyper focused on creating even more opportunities for their core membership, ie white women, and everyone else is secondary. <br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /><br />sideeyenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11279250.post-63844192388179772022015-10-26T18:04:19.982-05:002015-10-26T18:04:19.982-05:00I am going to be so exceptionally disappointed if ...I am going to be so exceptionally disappointed if the 3 percent women get the agencies to release gender information, and leave ethnicity completely off the table. <br /><br />They've got this incredible opportunity to start righting two wrongs at once, racism & gender issues inside agencies, so why do I get the feeling that the agencies and holding companies will offer of male/female hiring stats and totally "forget" about color? <br /><br />Or worse, do something like "Oh, between our offices in New York and Shanghai we have 40% women, 60% men, and of course 30% of our hires are Asian! Look how diverse our agency is!" <br /><br />They'll cook the ethnicity numbers basically.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
