Reddit's co-founder Alexis Ohanian announced today that he will be stepping down from the Reddit's board of directors and asked the board to replace him with a suitable black candidate.

This is unprecedented and the right thing on so many levels. There is a HUGE diversity problem in the tech world which is generally dominated by White and Asian males and that space has a HUGE under representation of the black community where <1% of top tech workers are actually black so this is a great step that he has taken as a corporate social responsibility on his part to encourage diversity from his part.

He is also married to the African American tennis super star Serena Williams and they have a daughter together. He wants to be a role model for his daughter and many other children around the world. I hope others follow in this regard and make way for more diversity not only in terms of African American but also Women, LGBT, Latino in the workplace.

Well played, Alexis!
