If you accuse people who give a crap about others who don't look, date, or pray like them of "virtue signaling", maybe you don't know enough people, and maybe you have been too sheltered from people who are suffering. Ultimately, it will impact you as a security professional.

I'll never forget the black, woman, veteran employee I watched break into tears because she had been pulled over by the police on her way to work during Chicago protests, held, and aggressively accused of being a rioter. She had ID reflecting all of this and was dressed for work.

There are whole neighborhoods here that are incredibly difficult to escape, and the police automatically make assumptions about anyone living or entering there. Places that have poor access to jobs, good education, support resources, and even decent food.

You make some friends there and get pulled over a few times on the way to their houses and treated like you're a drug addict or a lost white tourist, and your perspective starts changing a little with only a very tiny glimpse of that world.

IDK, anyway, this really bothers me.

"But Lesley, why will it impact my ability to do infosec?"
Because we do cybersecurity for humans, and being able to understand how and why they act in particular ways under specific environmental and emotional conditions is integral to understanding user and adversary behavior.
