在种族和葡萄酒行业的问题上前进必威手机登录

Stacy Brisco永远不会失望。最新提醒着这位作家的精心排列的是她为葡萄酒行业的饮料行业爱好者撰写的一篇文章，题为“”必威手机登录葡萄酒行必威手机登录业承诺改善多样性，公平性和包容性。有什么变化吗？”One thing that Stacy demonstrated in this review of the wine industry’s DEI efforts is how talking and writing about the issue has changed.

As I read through the article I noticed that there was no mention of the wine industry being “systemically racist” or “inherently racist”，不久前的两个声明是司空见惯的，并在许多有关葡萄酒行业对2020年事件的反应的文章中。必威手机登录

实际上，布里斯科（Brisco）的文章描述了过去18个月内支持少数民族，在内部发展网络并在葡萄酒行业中取得成功的多种方式。必威手机登录这是一篇令人振奋的文章，将读者侧重于成功的发生。

Both in her writing and in the comments from the subjects of her interview for the article, the terms “systemic racism” and “inherent racism” are absent. This is important not because it suggests that examples of racism have been excised from the industry, but rather that the unsupported indictments of the wine industry may no longer be muddying the waters when questions of representation in the industry are concerned.

代表性不足的原因
以前关于葡萄酒行业系统种族主义的指控的问题在于，它们的升级很少，几乎没有证据。必威手机登录此外，当被指控者被压迫时，美国葡萄酒行业从系统的种族主义者来说，构成观察到许多少数群体在各个层面和部分地区的人数不足。必威手机登录当然，代表性不足根本没有种族主义的证据。

The proper response to the observation of underrepresentation of one group or another is to ask why. Were blacks regularly denied job offers due to racist hiring practices? Did Hispanics apply for wine industry jobs in numbers far less than their percentage of the population? Do wineries generally receive applications from people located in the region where the winery is located and does the population in these regions include an over or under-representation of minorities compared to the population at large? Do some underrepresented minority groups tend to have less interaction with wine leading to them choosing other, more familiar industries into which to apply for work? The point is that until an investigation is undertaken to explain why one group or another is underrepresented in one or more parts of the wine industry it is simply impossible to assign systemic racism as the reason for that underrepresentation. More importantly, such investigations would provide insight into how to more effectively recruit underrepresented groups into the industry. It is notable that no such investigations have been undertaken as far as anyone knows.

Despite my not agreeing with all the claims and assertions in Brisco’s current article, there is no denying that the efforts being made to assure the wine industry is welcoming to underrepresented minorities are both working and inspiring. It is a great example of how collaboration moves an issue forward.
