It does exist, it's just not the shape most people think it is. Older generations had different demographics, and white men are still in power from those generations... in no small part because they were the ones who were in the majority. There remains a bit of blindness to the problems of non-white non-male persons among the 'ruling elites'... But these same cohort of leaders were pursuing a program of diversity, inclusion, and meritocracy over the last several decades. To say white/male as default isn't a problem isn't exactly true (see, for example, how medical research has historically been conducted mostly on young white male volunteers), but to say that it isn't changing is also not exactly true -- demographics are changing in the US and the composition of institutions of power is also changing.
