'I think everyone should watch @SocialDilemma_ But then try this: watch it from the point of view of a person of color. We are barely visible.' @rainakumra The Social Dilemma's Blind Spot @techonomy techonomy.com/2020/09/the-so… #TheSocialDilemma #DiversityAndInclusion #changetheratio

'While so much has been done to increase representation in film (with @netflix & @HBO leading the charge) it still baffles me that this documentary crossed the finish line with such an obvious level of homogeneity.' @rainakumra @techonomy techonomy.com/2020/09/the-so… #TheSocialDilemma

'There’s no lack of POC who cld have participated & spoken passionately on this topic. To make matters inexcusably worse, there were several quotations featured as interstitials, each of which was from a white man' @rainakumra @techonomy techonomy.com/2020/09/the-so… #TheSocialDilemma

'@anildash said, “I’m very wary of media’s focus on anyone as a single face or name in the movement for tech ethics, esp as it’s always been women and nonbinary folks (esp POC) leading the effort and paying the highest price.” @rainakumra techonomy.com/2020/09/the-so… #TheSocialDilemma

'It's misguided that those interviewed are given a chance for easy redemption by participating in the film, when some of them did real damage, and yet still have all the power and valuable shares that came from working for those companies.' @rainakumra techonomy.com/2020/09/the-so…

'@nilofer pointed out how the platforms were letting hate win in 2017, during her interview with @BriannaWu who was one of Gamergate’s targets. Nilofer’s words ring true today, “Women were the canaries in the tech industry coal mine.” @rainakumra techonomy.com/2020/09/the-so…

'@SocialDilemma_, sadly, did not follow a process for diversity, empathy or the inclusion of all voices. That is even more alarming, because the topics covered in #TheSocialDilemma are so deeply intertwined with issues of race.' @rainakumra @techonomy techonomy.com/2020/09/the-so…
