I don't think you're totally wrong and I also think we might be having a problem
attracting people to the community. Nevertheless, I don't think attracting
people to the community is entirely related to being inclusive. If you do a
massive marketing campain to attract people and your community is not welcoming
(or simply ready to deal with that) then you'll end up pushing them away, hence
my question ;)

As you correctly pointed out, our community is amaizing but not perfect. We do
have some serious issues to deal with to be more inclusive. So, I think you're
onto something and your answer is valid, perhaps better in a different context.
