Oh they are progressive. They'll support Black Lives Matter and sympathise with Iranian women.
But there's only so much anybody can do when it's the entire US (and further afield) social structure at fault. It's the same where I am. I work on a project with 3 other white guys. If I put a job advert up for another programmer, who will apply? 3-4 more white guys.
I agree that it's a lack of good testing. Especially when you consider that it'll be mostly used to pick black guys out of a database. And especially so in New Orleans.
