All the systems you mentioned have more far more white men than the US as a whole, so are you arguing that white men hate themselves? US: 60% white[1]; 49% male[1]; ~31% white & male[2] Media: 75% white[3]; 50% white & male Academia: 40% white & male[4] College Professors: 53% white & male[5] House: 73% white[5] Senate: 89% white[5] All elected offices in the US in 2014: 65% white & male[2] President: 100% white & male I'm too lazy to keep going, but I feel like I've made my point. Neither white people nor white men are underrepresented in any position of power or wealth. So how can it be that these systems (that people in their demographic control) are against them? 1. https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/IPE120219 https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/IPE120219 2. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2014/10/08/65-percent-of-all-american-elected-officials-are-white-men/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2014/10/08/65... 3. https://journalistsresource.org/race-and-gender/newsroom-diversity-7-studies/ https://journalistsresource.org/race-and-gender/newsroom-div... 4. https://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=61 https://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=61 5. https://www.americanbar.org/content/dam/aba/administrative/government_affairs_office/demographics-and-composition-117thcongress.pdf https://www.americanbar.org/content/dam/aba/administrative/g...

  First you made a logical leap. Simply because these institutions may be nominally majority white does not preclude the ability for them to biased against whites. I never claimed these institutions were minority white, only that they were biased against whites, so you also attacked a straw man. You also did not address the widespread corporate training material adopted from Robin D’Angelo. If the system were biased towards whites, why would it train its employees to shun their white identity? Would you consider a system whose corporations asked their employees to “be less black” biased against black people? What percentage of Biden’s cabinet do you consider white?
