It has been kind of strange to watch the diversity programs and the conversations around it, because it all seems partially designed to sorta try to fix the problems, but also not be confrontational or force any hard questions to be asked/answered.

It seems more important to do something, and to be seen doing something, than to get real about what will work, and what won't, and why.

People have been using this tactic for ages, whether it be for political, professional or personal gains.

The software engineer who is rewarded for putting out the fires, when in reality they are a serial arsonist...

Modern progressivism (https://www.vox.com/2016/4/21/11451378/smug-american-liberal...) ...

So on and so forth...

No one wants to put in the real, hard work and society continues to reward the facade.
