I think the point was actually to be extra inclusionary: to cover all of
the above not just a subset when recruiting new editors. So potential
recruits don't think but I'm not really {{label}} and exclude themselves.
I'm pretty sure others won't be excluded but these events will be *focused*
on topics related to those groups and editors with some sort of a
connection to Africa. To address biases similarly to women focused outreach
but with a twist thrown in: adding a new language to Wikipedia too, they
started already Garifuna Wikipedia on incubator.
