It’s Adcolor Awards week, where we celebrate a bunch of diversity directors getting paid to sit on a committee that acts as a heat shield for the holding companies. <br /><br />They give themselves and their friends diversity awards for doing little to nothing tangible, and then when civil rights issues come up or Jesse Jackson or Cyrus Mehri or the NYC Human Rights Commission start asking for hard numbers (because they’re beginning to suspect that only 1% of management in ad agencies nationally is black), they wave the Adcolor flag as proof of diversity and fairness in the industry. <br /><br />So don’t ask for numbers, or talk about numbers, and enjoy the shiny awards being handed out instead.
