But as an event organizer, I wonder how else we are supposed to judge the success of our efforts to reach certain groups. I am not personally in any POC communities, and I don't know anyone in those communities, really. I have done a little bit of networking, but aside from that, how am I supposed to judge how successful I am being at making my message accessible to POC -- other than seeing POC people at my events? In other words, I get why "more POC at our events" is problematic, but I'm struggling to come up with other yardsticks for successful inclusiveness. @ subversivesub: I definitely get your point, and I agree that we need to try and avoid tokenizing any groups at all, including POC.
