Exactly. Those executives are letting racism, sexism, and poor
taste drive the machine. They certainly have the resources to promote a
positive/inclusive/experimental agenda, yet they don't. They don't care
_who_ they're discriminating against, so long as that discriminatory
marketing continues to shovel in the profits.

BTW: In no way am I excusing the ignorant hoardes who perpetuate such
ignorance. I'm just saying that those who have a platform to make a
difference are doubly guilty if they refuse to use it. _Especially_ if
they refuse for the sake of money.
