No, wait. I got it: Bad actors use "diversity of political beliefs" in bad faith as cover for undermining the goals of the diversity statement. Marginalized groups want more assurance that our community (1) isn't one of those bad actors and (2) is willing and capable of resisting those bad actors when they come.

That's a very useful summary; thank you.

I think we can fairly easily add a sentence that encourages participation from a wide diversity of people, while making it clear that including someone in the conversation does not give them free reigns in contradiction with the rest of the guidelines.

Ralf, if you agree, shall we do this for SciPy, and use the new version for NumPy too?
