Power asymmetries are not always and not simply the result of a lack of "diversity". Power asymmetry can be the result of a variety of interactions between a variety of factors-- not just "lack of diversity". For example, a power asymmetry might result from information asymmetry, and information acquisition does not necessarily require [political/economic] power. Also, a power asymmetry might result from a competency or cultural asymmetry (such as "need for achievement" *), which are also not necessarily due to a "lack of diversity". Competency or cultural asymmetry can result from cultural or sociological tendencies of a given group to promote certain activities for their particularly culturally nuanced view of "status". Power can also be a geographical asymmetry. And a demographic one, in terms of political economics. * "Need for achievement (N-Ach) is an individual's desire for significant accomplishment, mastering of skills, control, or high standards. The term was first used by Henry Murray and associated with a range of actions. These include: "intense, prolonged and repeated efforts to accomplish something difficult." . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Need_for_achievement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Need_for_achievement
