I like your assertion that white men are diverse too. Yet, if such groups of men utilized that diversity, we would never had a need for Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity, etc. We left such groups alone for years, and they never changed their hiring strategy, promotion trends and the like. Now, I’d submit that various groups of white men and women have made changes in how they hire, think,and so on. But there’s still a significant number of white men, and white women, who believe that people of color are getting a pass. They seem to suggest that in the good ‘ol days (before such programs) everyone who got hired was the best possible person for the job. Really?
