Besides if we have groups for LGBQ, shouldn't we have them for African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Christians, Muslims, Jews, whites, straights, and every other defining group? If we have it for one, others will follow with other groups. Instead of diverse teams and forums like CD, we get small forums such as mentioned above.

FIRST has been such a great organization to me because teams and youth focus on robots instead of all the political correctness everywhere. Please don't bring it here.
I completely agree with you, the last thing FIRST needs is to be taken over by SJWs. If people need issues to focus on, it should be issues that affect everyone such as climate change for example.
