The comments here as I write this are quite shocking. I would have imagined that HN's readership would be quite progressive. Maybe not.
I do not think it is unreasonable for a corporate board to be required to include at least one woman or at least one non-white person. I also think it's quite shocking that all-white-male boards are so common that this is even necessary. It's an artifact of institutional racism and sexism that is easy to observe in hard data, and so this law feels like a single step towards modern equity.
