WotC pony up for a Diversity Equity & Inclusion manager

Having written covered the news of Wizards of the Coast putting a prejudice warning on some old D&D products and sharing homebrew stats for a magic wheelchair in D&D, I’ve spent the following days deleting abusive comments from gammon convinced that, as a result, someone is going take their D&D collection away from. I can testify that only mentioning “Diversity”, and “D&D” together becomes a fulltime job.

Perhaps Wizards of the Coast agree, they’ve found the cash to hire a for Senior Manager Diversity Equity & Inclusion.

Want to take this chance to work for WotC? You’d need to quality;
