== Atheist Kavin Senapathy on Center for Inquiry's lack of racial diversity
The atheist Kavin Senapathy wrote on the Center for Inquiry's lack of racial diversity
{{Cquote|Last October, however, I received a letter from CFI suggesting that “we part ways” and dismissing me from my role as co-host of Point of Inquiry. I believe the dismissal was a response to my outspoken views on CFI’s negligence toward matters of race and diversity — issues that the organization has often sidestepped in the past. If that is indeed the case, it sends a discouraging message. At a moment when racist pseudoscience is making a disturbing comeback, skeptics shouldn’t shy away from talking about race — and we can’t afford to overlook the white privilege among our own ranks.
THE CENTER for Inquiry has frequently been criticized for its indifference to matters of race, diversity, and social justice. That indifference is reflected in its demographics. At the last three CSIcons, I was the only non-white presenter in the lineup. The Center’s 10-member board of directors includes just one non-white person and two women.<ref>[https://undark.org/2020/02/20/center-for-inquiry-race-pseudoscience/ Opinion: The Skeptics Movement Can’t Afford to Ignore Racial Inequality] by Kavin Senapathy</ref>}}
