Building a More Inclusive Python Community Culture ====

Diverse "problem solving" ----Google that

Inclusive Culture ----Persistent, self-sustaining diversity

Building an Inclusive Community Culture ----1. Awareness

  1. Watch for silent errors
  2. Flip the demographics

  1. Empathy in Outreach

    1. Prior negative experiences? Your burden now!
    2. How much would YOU pay for this bad experience?

  2. Privilege

    1. Defined
    2. Visualized

Understanding Privilege ----- Privilege: What you DON'T have to worry about - Even the MOST privileged (US born white cishetero men) have a LOT to worry about

  • How will I keep my $100K job that pays for my suburban home, 2 late model vehicles and "comfortable" lifestyle?
  • Do I even LIKE this life?
  • Looking at Maslow's Heirarchy, LOTS of those concerns aren't survival/safety issues.

  • Compare/contrast white cishetero man (Adam) with:

    • his wife (Eve)
    • his wife's twin (Esther), who's husband was a jerk & now she's a single mom
    • his male co-worker of color (Frank)

    • ANYONE not cishetero

      • Shelly & Jacques & Mary: distinguish b/w Gay, Bi, Trans, Poly, others
  • People with LESS privilege have SIMILAR things to worry about, PLUS the added concerns that come with less privilege.
  • Privilege Arbitrage: Using YOUR freedom to avoid certain concerns to benefit people who CANNOT avoid them.
