If you ask a black artist to paint a picture of a man they will most likely paint a picture of a black man. A tangent- but this is not strictly true! See: http://mediadiversified.org/2013/12/07/you-cant-do-that-stories-have-to-be-about-white-people/ On Sun, Jun 29, 2014 at 8:11 PM, Marie Earley

2014-06-29 Thread Pine W
Hi, this is a question I've been wondering about for awhile, and I am interested in hearing comments. My impression is that few of WMF's female employees are regular content editors or regular Commons media contributors, although they occasionally have office discussions about how to increase the
