Thank you for the balanced response and keeping this about the cause than a defense to the MWC. As I mentioned in the story, you and the 3 winners were also probably one of the best stories in the competition, but not in a competition where 40% was allocated for "creativity" as there is hardly that when talking abt social issues. Hence the issue with the winners being the right ones for the wrong contest.
As to your broader viewpoint, I still maintain the results had a politically mindful tilt, and that is probably a doing of the systemic injustice over history that needs undoing by tilting the balance to the other side. It doesnt take away from the winners but questions the platforms intentions.
As to racism, it is a systemic issue and I have been vocal abt the same in more than one places including this: https://medium.com/illumination-curated/white-man-vs-black-woman-a-story-of-adam-and-lisa-551c324998c9
And another story on how "diversity" hiring steals credit from the ethnic minorities who deserved the job irrespective but now carry a tag of being "diversity hires"
