"There are no Black/African-American GitHubbers in management positions, which is unacceptable."

Why is it unacceptable? Just by virtue of the number of different kinds of people -- race, gender, etc there's no way to have 'one of each' for every position for maximum diversity. This sort of thing is so creepy because it treats people like collectible figures ("Oh yeah? Well I added a black transgendered person to our team today! I have way more diversity points than you!") instead of actual people you judge on their merits. How is a white person supposed to feel about applying to Github management position after reading "Its unacceptable we don't have a black manager"?

I'm not white and I don't want to be treated as some statistic you can show off on your diversity report card. Thats really demeaning and insulting.
