Hi Emily, thanks for an amazing podcast, great articles, and what looks to be a fantastic book. Best of luck.

My question: Slate suffers from a real dearth of voices from people of color. It's really pretty shocking for such a large staff of writers. I think this is Slate's greatest weakness. Both you (at the Seattle live gabfest) and David Plotz (in his Reddit AmA) have acknowledged that Slate recognizes this is a problem, but from what I can tell (and from what I hear and read) Slate has done nothing about it. We are all missing important perspectives. What is Slate doing to change this?

There's no appeal from SCOTUS.

Probably because it's answered very clearly in the article.

You guys only have one Native person? Good lord.

I don't doubt this is sincere, but it doesn't really answer the question so much as restate it. This is a disappointing reply to Slate's largest problem.
