Royal Society of Chemistry: Challenging diversity in favour of equity

Disturbing that this Royal Society spreads such propaganda and demagoguery! Not for the first time!

Can anyone actually explain what "equity" in this context is? Short answer: It is purely in the eye of the beholder like beauty!

So much baloney! Such a regurgitation of false ideology driven narratives! E.g. many Indians were very actively participating in the development of facial recognition technology.

"... the 71st Lindau Nobel laureate meeting. Each year, the conference brings together young scientists from all over the world with Nobel laureates of a dedicated discipline, chemistry in this case. Many of them experienced the conference as one of the most diverse they ever attended. Indeed, many attendants belonged to structurally marginalised groups in science, such as People of Colour, people from the Global South or LGBTQ+ people. However, diversity did not go far beyond the selection of participants. ...
Diversity has been a buzzword in the past couple of years and I appreciate the broader awareness about the injustice of discrimination. ...
Biased facial recognition technology, inherited from its mostly white, young male programmers is a common example. ..."
