>Does Jeff Bezos' children and a child born into the foster care system have equal opportunity
This is a bad example that works against you, because the data says that wealth tends to evaporate to 0 after 3 generations, or even sooner.
Elon Musk came from South Africa from nothing. Will his children achieve the same height of success? Not a chance.
>what?
All of the Ivy Leagues consider race as part of admission in order to boost underrepresented groups artificially. This means Asian males have the highest bar to cross, while an underrepresented individual has the lowest bar to cross. This is inherently racist.
>But just in case you or someone else takes this to mean we should give up on diversity initiatives, we shouldn't. Failure doesn't mean give up, it means iterate.
Are you saying that just because your "diversity program" is explicitly and openly racist against Asians and other groups, you should double down?
>So if women are less inclined towards software jobs, is it because all, or at least most, women don't have what it takes?
That's a classic strawman argument. I've personally mentored and hired more than a dozen women. No, it means women are less inclined towards software pathways. Same reason men are less inclined towards being a beautician or in HR.
To even propose the idea that everyone is inherently the same is racist and sexist. You're tearing down entire identities.
