Well to be honest, I'm against forced diversity as well. :)

I've organized a conference earlier this year, quite similar to FOWA
in fact, and guess what: we had no single speaker -- and I'd dare say
even a single guest, but I haven't meet everyone in person -- who
wasn't white. We had one female speaker and one female moderator, and
a bunch of female attendees, but overwhelming majority was still male.
Should we have strived for more diversity?
