    Are women considered “diversity” in the US now? At this point only underrated-overweight-white-trash will have the right to work. Good luck lol

      Yes and they always have. It just marks the success of the programs that women working in top roles has become so normalized that people don’t even realize it was different.

      Indeed they are, there’s a place for the woman and it’s not considered the workforce by these backwards psychotics.

      I mean, white women were the single demographic group to benefit most from affirmative action, despite racists preferring to paint it as a program that only benefited African Americans in their reverse racism arguments, so yeah, they count in my book. Especially when you consider that a large portion of far-right white men want them to occupy the trad wife role and not been seen outside the home and church again.
