There's some hope for diversity progress in advertising.<br /><br />But if you dig into details, you realize that "age diversity" = hiring more white people, "diversity of thought" = hiring more white people, "gender diversity" = hiring more white women and "LGBT diversity" = hiring more white men AND white women.<br /><br />As long as there's no accountability and no one asks for numbers, the advertising world is going to continue on as it has always done, which is saving the best jobs for white friends of white people already in decision making roles of power. <br /><br />They'll just keep releasing infographics that show the difference of men vs. women hiring in ad agencies, and use THAT as proof of progress or lack thereof, never ever reveal that it may be 30% women vs. 70% men, but it's 1% black vs. 99% white. <br /><br />So they need to be held accountable and SHOW NUMBERS beyond white women vs. white men numbers.
