We are really. However we are using those words more like a buzzwords. Not like something we've really given some effort into it and not something we think we work on... but it's something we like to talk towards. We're great in the communities.

It's too late when we come to Word Compure. And once I was in Philadelphia for a Word Comp... And the room of my colleague was on 47 floor and it costed more than the rooms on the 10 floor, where the rest of the guys were. And I forgot to say why the rooms on the top floors are more extensive than on the lower floors especially because it was a smoker then, And I need too much time with the elevator to reach the ground floor, to get outside, and receptionist told me probably because they have a better view on the top floors. And that is why we have now something that I call an awareness elevator, and you will figure out why this awareness elevator is so important. T услов間i, na prVE lev Giving vision About diversity, about what is happening, about inclusivity, about community Because you have too many buildings around And you can't see anything except the place that you are If you are on the second level Some buildings around you are shorter So you can see a bit better than guys on the level 1 And level 3 is clear visibility tako da se vse zelo vse, kako je vse. Na primer ljudi se vse zelo, kako je zelo. Kaj je problem tudi? Zelo sem zelo v Belgrade in sem vse zelo vse zelo. Vsi je zelo, da ne bo vse zelo. As long as they don't say that they're gay, like what you just said, because it's not obvious, you would say, I don't hate black people until they say they're black, but it's obvious when you see the black person that he's black, and for gay person it's not obvious that he's gay, probably you need to find out somehow. I say, what is the difference if he's gay or not? Yeah, before I find out I can communicate normally and everything, but when I find out if they tell me I'm a bit different, so that is that adversity. You don't feel comfortable if you're surrounded by some people that you're not accepting so easily because you don't know enough about them. And it's okay, but we need to change that. That was okay, but we need to change it from that lowest level like local meetups and everything else. On level 2, probably the most of us are on this level somewhere. We know that it's morally normal to have that diversity inclusivity, but someone else will do it instead of us. We don't have to do anything, someone will. Because it's sensitive topic and we shouldn't talk about that too much because someone maybe will hate us because of this. Someone will maybe hate me after my talk today, but more or less I don't care if I help someone with this talk from marginalized group because I was helping enough to white, Caucasian, male, straight, et cetera, et cetera. It's time to help someone else. And on third level, you have to read this, to focus and to read this. The people, especially on leading positions like CEOs and leading big projects, knows how important diversity is for the projects and they know how huge value diversity is bringing to a company, to a product and to better executing tasks. Let's practice something together. Do we have mic runner here? Awesome. I will need the mic. Thank you. First of all, require the situation when you felt excluded from some activity by a group. So, you expected to be invited, like to play football with your friends, or to go to play X-box, or you expected to be invited for some party in a high school, whatever. Just close your eyes and try to recall situation when you felt excluded from a group. Let's do it. One, two, three, close your eyes. All of you, okay? And recall some situation when you felt excluded from a group. Some, don't be shy. Anyone? You were never excluded from any activity, ever. No? You are lucky ones. But I think that you lie. Definitely. Because it's not possible. Yeah, they are shy. Why are you shy? We were friends here. Imagine that this is not friendly environment. How shy would you be? That you are from some marginalized group and this is the place. This is not friendly for you. How would you feel then? You are not feeling comfortable to raise your hand in friendly environment. Probably we are shy because we feel ashamed that we were excluded. Excluded people feel guilty about the exclusion. Yeah, that's the point. But with discrimination we are doing that every day to those people from marginalized groups. You were excluded from some activity maybe couple of times in your life. And you feel bad about that and you are shy to talk about that. And what is the energy now in this room? Not so good, huh? We are all like, hmm, we shouldn't be talking about this. Let's do the same thing, but a bit better. I want to say that we don't want to talk about these topics. Oh, yeah, awesome. I know. I know that's the point. That is why I talk about that in public. Let's recall the situation when you felt included by some activity in the group and you didn't expect that you will be included. Like someone invited you and you were like, you could have invited me for this event. I never expected that I will be invited. If there are probably different energy, I see some faces smiling, changing from that sad face from before. So you need to know that how you felt first time when you closed your eyes and how you felt the second time. When we talk about being included in some activity, it's completely different energy. You're smiling, first time you're all watching in the floor and shy to talk about that. Can't you do this? Imagine how people from marginalized groups feel every day. Every morning when they wake up, they experience some kind of discrimination, some kind of exclusion from a group where they probably want to belong to. They would like to belong to some group or whatever human being to have that wish to be a part of some group of something. When we say discrimination, probably especially because Bulgaria is now in the European Union, that discrimination by any type of discrimination is kind of, let's say, a halk term, like discrimination. We are not doing that. We have pride parade or something like that. So you think it's enough. They have one day in a year, they can walk on the streets, we will give them army, armed troops to support them because probably someone will kick their ass without that. So we are doing enough. We have pride, we will let them walk and that's it. For LGBTQ in example. So one day in a year, we gave them one day in a year and that's it. We are done. We are in so cool community because we will give them 365 days. They can have one. It's happening actually discrimination every single day, right next to you because probably you don't know. You are doing that every day subconsciously and you don't know that you are doing that. And probably very often you are doing that because of your religious or other beliefs. When we talk about religions, can you agree that if we say Islam, that probably all of you will think that that is the most aggressive religion in the world because they always have some. I see some terrorist organization with Islam in the back but let me remind you that we have 100 sects based on Christianity who killed 100 members, 1000 members or whatever. So that is just weird Christians and they are Muslims so they are more aggressive. If you ask Muslims, they would say the same thing for Christians. So you need to switch shoes every time when you think about someone else. You need to understand why they are doing something and why they are like that. Discrimination is actually okay sometimes. It's okay when you are discriminating historically privileged group like me. If you don't give me a job, if you hire this woman instead of me, it's okay because the man was hired over a woman million times in the last 100 or 200 years. So if you hire one time woman over a man, it's fine but maybe I will not feel like that. Also it's okay when you reject a blind person for the position of a bus driver because obviously the blind person can drive a bus. Also it's okay when a woman or a man rejects to be examined by an opposite gender genicologist or urologist because that woman or a man could feel uncomfortable to be examined by a different gender doctor. It's okay when a restaurant rejects to organize white supremacy dinner but it's never okay to reject to hire colored person because your restaurant is organizing white supremacy dinner. In this case there is also one more thing really interesting. Maybe the owner of that restaurant is not discriminating. He is discriminating only because he thinks that if he hires a colored person he will lose his guests for white supremacy. So sometimes it can happen that you don't want that you don't want to discriminate but you think that you are forced to and this is very often situation. Also it's never okay to say I don't want to be examined by a different skin color doctor or a different religion. It's okay different gender but not different. It's not okay to reject a woman for a bus driver position because probably the woman is more than capable to drive a bus than the same as any man. And there is something that we call positive discrimination. This is the very important thing and this is the good thing to do. What we can do for the positive discrimination? We can hire a woman over a man because every time when we have some hiring process probably 95% of applications in the IT industry are for men. And maybe 5% are women. Hire a woman over a man. Give them a chance. I don't hire any person from marginalized groups instead of me. So I'm average. So every time when I say me it's white, Caucasian, male, middle-aged, soul. I had all the benefits of my race and of my skin color all my life. And accept a woman's speaker for a word can polar a man. Every time when you are doing vetting accept woman rather than a man, there is always someone to be invited to speak because 95% of speakers in the last 10 years were men. Now it's a better situation but still we don't have process and procedures but we are doing that because we think it's okay. Extra mile. Not just accept and not just hire is someone applies. Reach out for a woman when hiring. Reach out for any person from marginalized groups and reach out for a woman speaker. How? When you are organizing a word camp there is a lot of meetups like women in tech, front-end developers, ladies, our ladies. Ask them. Sign them an email and say, look, we are organizing a word camp and we would like some of you to share your experiences with jazz, to share your experiences with our language. And very often we say, yeah, but we had only 5 woman applications and 37 men, so that is why we have that ratio like only 10% of women. Why? As I said, if you hire a woman over a man it's not a big deal because I was hired so many times over a woman. Is it fair? Well, as I said, it might feel unfair for me to have her hired on my position if we have same competences because only because of one reason. Because we read the spoilers of the white male privilege for so long so we are doing this for centuries. It's not something that we are doing for less than 10 years. We are doing this for centuries. We were conquering North America, Central America, South America, India and we have them colonized for centuries, for thousands of years. And now when someone from those colonized countries should be hired over a white man we are not feeling good about that because we are used to be hired over them. We are used to be hired over a woman because women couldn't run Boston Marathon until 1973. It's like 6 years before I was born. It's not 100 years ago. It's 40 years ago. It's not ages, it's years. And we are so spoiled that we can't accept that someone is hired over us. Probably because of those... Our DNA changed by years and that is how we are doing discrimination. And we think that we are not doing that. I had a huge fight with my girlfriend in January because I was 100% sure that I'm not discriminating and she explained to me that I am. And step by step I realized that actually it's not only me, it's entire community but we are doing that passively. We are not aware of that that we are discriminating. Just by doing nothing we are discriminating enough. Is there a more relevant person for the discrimination? Of course no. Five minutes. I'm almost done. Let's do something. You should try to get to know someone from LGBTQ, immigrants or racial minority, people with little or no economic resources. All of these are marginalized groups. Some women or the elderly, ex-convicts, drug addicts or illiterate. These are all marginalized groups. There lives are mostly in the loop. You don't have a chance here, then you fail here, then you fail here and you are not trying anymore. And then we say, yeah, but they don't want to try. They did, they tried. Million times they failed. No one ever helped them. And of course they will not try. Especially for ex-convicts and why they are going back to prison because no one will hire ex-convict. And you don't know if neo-batterija niskor will be done soon. And people with disabilities. You will see that you have more than more things in common with them than you thought, than you ever think about. And you will see that you will have only maybe one difference with someone from marginalized group. And probably you have more differences with me than someone from marginalized group. Why? Let's do something. Which kind of music do you listen in electronic music? Can you raise your hand if you listen in electronic music? Ok. Rock. Awesome. Folk. And now just one guy. I expected this. Apple phones. Apple devices. Ok. Samsung. You know why we are doing this. You don't know. Look around when you raise your hand. Do you like more summer, winter or spring? Summer? Summer. Ok, winter. Ok, spring. Ok. And the last, your favorite color? Blue? Red? Ok, black? Ok. If you see who raised the hand probably every time it was mixed. Who is using Apple phone didn't have the same color with the person who liked the same music as he did. So all of you were mixed. Someone likes this, but use this. Someone likes this, but use that. Do you think that it doesn't really matter if there is some black person or LGBTQ person or a woman or a man? We were talking about something else. So probably there will be only one thing different between people from marginalized group and you. And it's sexual orientation, in example. But probably some of them are sharing more interest with you than someone for whom you think that is more compatible with you. The only compatibility of the person with different sexual orientation with you is maybe the only difference between you and that person. And you are listening to different kind of music. You like different kind of art. You like different kind of movies. You are not watching the same TV show. You like Game of Thrones. He likes something else. But with the person who has only one thing different from you and that is sexual orientation you have all other interests the same. So you are more compatible with that person than with the person that you thought. Because you were afraid probably. So that is why I said you know a person from each of marginalized group just to see how many things you have in common with them. Would you ever really spend an hour with me talking about football and about things that you really don't care about or with someone from some marginalized group who is sharing the same interest with you? Honestly. Who would like to spend an hour with someone from marginalized group rather than someone from let's say with me, because I'm pretty much. Of course, the most of us would rather spend an hour with someone from marginalized group. Why we are not doing that? Why we are still afraid of people from marginalized groups? In 21. century let's change it. Try to do what I said. Try to get to know someone from marginalized group. At least one person from each try to talk with them and to see how much we are failing in being humans. Just because we don't know how to let's say deal with differences. So, what I said equity is very important. What equity means? I will need four volunteers, not volunteers camp volunteers, but some people from audience. Oh awesome, you are here. What is equity? We have one small task. Come with me. And you can come. I like. So, I'm the tallest one. Precess. The task is simple. You need to touch the same spot as I'm touching right now. And I will stand here. No, you need to do it by your finger. Take it, take it, take it. So, this is equity. And stand next to me. And this is equality. That is equality. So, inequality, we have the same starting point. And it's not fair. Because I'm 10 centimeters taller than he is. And we have the same tasks. So, it's fine. It's the last slide, actually. So, I'm like in one minute precise. So, equity means giving the same level for everyone. So, if the task is to touch that point and I have advantage, they need to have the same advantage. So, if he is 10 centimeters more, you can 10 centimeters to climb on. Then we can compete for the position, for the same position. But if the task is like this, that they don't have anything to climb on, I will be in a huge advantage over them. So, that is equality. And every time when you say equality, recall this situation. So, equality is not enough, because equality is the same starting point. And we can't have said. If you are running 100 meters with the same bolt, you need to start running on 50 or 60 meters, because he will catch you. Even on those 40 he will catch you. But you need to have some advantage. Thank you. If you have any questions, thanks for being here first. If you have any questions for me, I will be around for like an hour. We also have one, we are starting one website. It will be diversityby.me. And we will have diversity map. You can find us, and you can find me WP Alex, if you have a company and you think that you are doing enough about diversity, or you think you are not doing enough, you can contact me. We will give you some advices how to improve processes and procedures. And we will put you on diversity map. There will be a map, you will be able to post block posts, to let's say share your experiences. There will be a great place, like good starting point, to share experiences in our community and to improve diversity and inclusivity. At least in our community and our industry. Thanks a lot again.
