Thanks for the article.

Lipton

I’ve already seen people suggesting that this is some sort of tipping point where the terms “minority” and “majority” are concerned.

But, it isn’t.

Access, decision-making and privilege continue to be sponge up by the normative group.

As the visible minorities in society number more than white people, the disproportion at the higher levels of politics, commerce and leadership in our institutions (boards, C-suite and upper management in both public and private sectors) becomes all the more stark.

And, with that lack of diversity representation comes the continuing hiring tendencies that favour some groups over others, as well as the lack of upward mobility for others more than some.

Have we (society) come a long way? You bet, we sure have. But, have we “arrived”, are we done? Nope, not by a long shot.

I’ve already seen people attempt to seize upon this stat as some indication that we can “relax” equality efforts and initiatives.

In my humble opinion, the notion is absurd.
