Can we talk about NFT “whitelists”?
Before even digging into how problematic the existing structures are, let’s take the simpler first step of not using the term whitelist at all. (1/x) 🧵

You know how everyone keeps saying “we’re early” in this space? That means it’s early enough to easily make a correction and stop using a loaded term. (2/x)

The connotations of whitelist reinforce the exclusionary behaviors that are already prevalent in the very nascent world of NFTs.
Some alternatives:
✅ presale list
✅ mintlist
✅ allowlist
✅ diamond list

'A bio for Donna Strickland, the physicist who invented a technology used by all the high-powered lasers in the world, was created on Wikipedia. In less than 6 mins it was flagged for a “speedy deletion” & shortly thereafter erased from the site' @ftripodi journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/14…
'This is part of the reason Dr. Strickland didn't have an active Wikipedia page when she was honored with the Nobel Prize in Physics 4 years later. Despite clear evidence, some didn't feel her contributions were notable enough to warrant a Wikipedia bio' journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/14…
'Much scholastic work demonstrates the extent of gender inequality on Wikipedia. Women in all fields are underrepresented, articles about women’s interests are underdeveloped, and women are less likely to edit Wikipedia articles' @ftripodi @sage_publishing journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/14…
You're idiots, white Hollywood. '@McKinsey's study concluded that America’s film industry is the country’s least diverse business sector and that its systemic anti-Black biases cost it at least $10 billion in annual revenue.' @franklinleonard @nytopinion nytimes.com/2021/04/24/opi…
'Black content is undervalued, underdistributed and underfunded, @mckinsey's analysis found. It also found that Black talent has been systematically shut out of creator, producer, director and writer positions.' @franklinleonard @nytopinion nytimes.com/2021/04/24/opi… #Racism
'That is despite the fact that films with two or more Black people working in those roles made 10 percent more at the box office per dollar invested than films with no or only one Black person in those capacities.' @franklinleonard @nytopinion nytimes.com/2021/04/24/opi… #Racism
'Men are three times more emotional than women at work.' Any woman could have told you that. Also in politics, government, in fact everywhere. @JessRapana @StylistMagazine stylist.co.uk/life/emotion-w…
'According to the findings, men are twice as likely to get emotional when their “ideas weren’t heard” or because they “were criticised”.' @JessRapana @StylistMagazine stylist.co.uk/life/emotion-w… #GenderEquality #DiversityAndInclusion #ChangeTheRatio
'What’s more, men were three times more likely to feel emotional if a project went over budget, missed a deadline or got cancelled.' @JessRapana @StylistMagazine stylist.co.uk/life/emotion-w… #GenderEquality #DiversityAndInclusion #ChangeTheRatio
'Thus, as a white, 40-year-old man, I am now going to voice my opinion about inclusivity and gender issues in marketing.' We welcome your allyship, @JPCastlin 🙂@marketingweek @BurgerKing @burgerkingUK marketingweek.com/burger-king-co… #DiversityAndInclusion #ChangeTheRatio
'We highlight diversity in our campaigns, but most creative leads are still white men. We talk about the importance of inclusion in our keynotes, but conferences still feature far fewer female speakers than male.' @jpcastlin @marketingweek marketingweek.com/burger-king-co… #ChangeTheRatio
'We write about the brilliance of women in marketing, but top marketer lists are often dominated by men. We speak of how woke we are, then celebrate International Women’s Day by running a campaign proclaiming that women belong in the kitchen.' @jpcastlin marketingweek.com/burger-king-co…
You end racism in business by hiring, welcoming & promoting Black talent, bc then you PAY Black talent & channel wealth to Black households. This esp needs to happen in #crypto, where wealth needs to spread beyond white men. But: @coinbase @nathanielpopper nytimes.com/2020/11/27/tec…
“Most people of color working in tech know that there’s a diversity problem,” said Ms. Butler, who resigned in April 2019. “But I’ve never experienced anything like @Coinbase.”

'Much of @Coinbase’s culture stems from the one around #Bitcoin..which..has attracted a generation of fans known as “#crypto bros.” Many have propagated a brash male-dominated way of life, facing criticism for sowing racism and sexism.' @nathanielpopper nytimes.com/2020/11/27/tec…
'The only way real change will happen is when there is an eight-figure problem when the agencies are on the verge of losing business, or when clients are willing to fire agencies for failing to diversify their workforce.' Anonymous to @seb_joseph @Digiday digiday.com/media/real-cha…
I've said for years the only thing that will make holding companies/agencies embrace diversity is total fucking disaster. 'One creative strategist has decided to sue an agency network for racial discrimination and wants others to do the same.' @Digiday digiday.com/media/real-cha…
Yup. 'I am not taking a class action lawsuit against anyone agency in particular, but rather a group of agencies. We’ve heard generations of “we can do better” talk” and nothing changes.' Anonymous to @seb_joseph @Digiday digiday.com/media/real-cha… #BlackLivesMatter #ChangeTheRatio

"Too many companies have this misguided thought that hiring disabled people is fundamentally charitable. You're doing it out of the kindness of your heart. That's absolute fucking bollocks." I talk to @Chad_Sowash @joelcheesman HR's Most Dangerous Podcast podcasts.apple.com/jo/podcast/cin…
"Every company should be falling over themselves to hire disabled people, because that is how you give yourselves a competitive business advantage." I talk to @chad_sowash @joelcheesman in Part 2 of my HR's Most Dangerous Podcast interview: podcasts.apple.com/jo/podcast/cin… #Diversity

'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

“For decades, institutions have churned out millions of reports that demonstrate diversity drives better business,” Gallop said. “They don’t matter a damn — if facts and figures and rational arguments worked, we’d be looking at a very different picture.” bossbetty.com/players/2020s-…
OK folks, hold onto your hats. Here we go. Starting my annual ritual of live-tweeting my reading of the @voguemagazine #septemberissue. Fyi: this will be happening on and off through today, because a) there's a LOT of the September issue, and b) I also have Saturday chores 🙂 
@voguemagazine So...the cover. @taylorswift13. Very much admire her as a young woman conquering the sexist patriarchal music business, but - I would've loved to have seen someone not a 'standard celeb' on the cover, ideally someone older, and most ideally someone black. #liveolder #diversity
@voguemagazine The marquee inside front cover/7 pages/scent strip spot is taken by @YSL for Libre feat @DUALIPA. I can't even begin to think what that ad placement cost. A good less-obvious celeb choice, but again, as a dedicated daily wearer of YSL scent Nu, would like to see an older woman
