Your immutable identity means nothing to me. If you believe that homogeneous identities produce homogeneous ideas, you’re mistaken.
Good ideas come from good people who are a good fit for their role.
Without meritocracy, how do we discriminate? How do we allocate resources?
Do we just fill the ranks with the prescribed amount of identities? Will any warm body do, given they have the right identity? Or do we pick someone with the right indentity based on how much favor they’ve curried?
