Hijab is NOT a symbol of diversity.

Dear Readers, DNM correctly implicated big tech companies for being clueless about Hijab. I have seen tens of hand-drawn posters by big tech companies where they show Hijab clad women to emphasize how diverse they are. Hand-drawn posters are contrived by-definition.

The companies do not know that Hijabs are less a sign of diversity and more a sign of religion. By deliberately promoting hijabs these companies are promoting a religion and its political hegemony. Would you display a poster with a cross or marks on foreheads or a yarmulke for diversity? Should you? If not, then why don't you just-say-no to the Hijab brigade?
