I agree - it's the definition of pandering: it serves no higher purpose than to gratify some group of people, without serving any deeper meaning.

I would like to know in what way this will actually influence change. Don't get me wrong, sincere displays of solidarity matter, but this isn't one. It's an effortless token gesture.
