Organizers of @NeurIPSConf: You can do better than making this sugarcoated statement. This is not cultural generalization. This is plain racist insult. Just showed the screenshot to my 9-year old. He immediately asked why this person would make such a public insult to Chinese. Even a child can tell.
NeurIPS acknowledges that the cultural generalization made by the keynote speaker today reinforces implicit biases by making generalisations about Chinese scholars. This is not what NeurIPS stands for. NeurIPS is dedicated to being a safe space for all of us. We want to address the comment made during the invited talk this afternoon, as it is something that NeurIPS does not condone and it doesn't align with our code of conduct. We are addressing this issue with the speaker directly. NeurIPS is dedicated to being a diverse and inclusive place where everyone is treated equally.
