Forum Overview :: Mac Hall Complaints Department :: PAX implements segregation

[quote name="FoK"][quote]The lounges, detailed as a separate space within the convention itself, have their own booths, tables, speakers and panel tracks, each with a focus on a company that serves a diverse community or is run by a <b>diverse individual</b> (or in the case of the panels, diversity issues and what I’m going to assume are issues of inclusivity in gaming). They have their own information on diverse spaces and talks within and without the expo hall for the duration of the convention, their own security teams specially trained in “Safe Zone Training” (whatever that is), and generally appear to be an area where people of diverse backgrounds can chill out while <a href="http://indiestatik.com/2013/12/17/pax-diversity-lounge/"><b>non-diverse attendees</b> can go to learn about people who aren’t like them in a tolerant space.</a>[/quote] (emphasis mine) I will say this: I think there is an opportunity for learning here. If I want to meet black girls should I go to the black section or the girl section? [/quote]
