Newsweek’s Steven Levy thinks it’s high time the blogosphere started pandering to the Diversity God. Too many of you bloggers are white guys! Half of you must become women and/or African-American! Thus saith Diversity, the Great and Powerful!

Okay, okay, we’re on top of this.

For Immediate Release

OKLAHOMA CITY, March 30, 2005 — Today, the Gleeson Bloglomerate released the summarized results of “Exploring Diversity Paradigms for the Millennium,” an exhaustive review of the hiring and promotion practices at the award-winning family of weblogs.

“One of the greatest assets of the Gleeson Bloglomerate diverse family of weblogs is the ethnic, cultural, credal, sexual, social, moral, fungal, and oval diversity of its respected diverse blogging persons.The Gleeson Bloglomerate takes great pride in this diversity, and values, upholds, respects, defends, flaunts, lauds, and fustigates all of its diverse blogging personages, regardless of race, sex, marital status, religion, creed, national origin, ancestry, age, disability, color, hue, saturation, brightness, contrast, volume, smell, feel, sound, shape, taste, weight, clarity, or diastematism,” began the summary, which went on at some length.

The detailed breakdown of Gleeson bloggers revealed that fully 50 percent are women, and 100 percent are minorities, of some sort. (For instance, 50 percent are diastematic.) Perhaps surprisingly, zero percent of the Gleeson bloggers are white; 50 percent are a “sort of muted pink,” and the remaining bloggers are “60 percent reddish, and 40 percent hairy.”
