Please show me some organizations that are a bunch of rich white people who all attended Ivy League schools but are otherwise highly diverse (race, gender, etc.).
That's the problem - you're talking in theory (obviously there are rich black people and they have resources) while ignoring practical reality, which is that race and socioeconomic status are highly correlated to the point where you can't just magically ignore the latter and somehow equitably deal with the former.
- cameronbrown 6y agoCorrelation is not causation, HN should know this. The problem is down to injustices from long ago, and a lack of ability to build generational wealth stemming from that historical racism. It doesn't mean that race is the defining factor.
- awillen 6y agoYou literally just pointed out the causation that is the lack of ability to build generational wealth stemming from historical racism.
- cameronbrown 6y agoThe effects of racism from 100 years ago isn't necessarily considered racism today, since the socioeconomic component is the key factor hurting these communities today, not race.
- krzyk 6y ago> highly diverse (race, gender, etc.). Why do you think that race and gender = diverse? They just have different races and gender, but might think the same way = not diverse.
- awillen 6y agoHe literally used the example of groups that are diverse by race and gender by everyone is rich and went to Ivy League schools. Thus the request for an example along those lines.
