Notice how we, as a society, spent relatively little time discussing the 2008 Mortgage Crisis and Occupy Wall Street.
Meanwhile news outlets have been beating the "inclusivity" / race / gender drum for _years_.
Time to wake up, folks.
Comparing that to "inclusivity" is also strange because inclusivity is not an event. A single event has a natural decay of relevance, the further into the past it gets.
It was an event that absolutely decimated MANY people in America financially. And for many of those people, their only fault in the whole thing was, I guess, being ignorant enough to be taken advantage of.
We spend a lot more time discussing things that are a lot more irrelevant than that.

OK, then instead compare the general theme of the 2008 Mortgage Crisis / Occupy Wall Street. Specifically: how much time do we spend talking about a small group of powerful elites pulling the financial strings in this country? And how does that compare to how much we talk about "inclusivity"?
The money and power concentrated into the hands of relatively few is an issue that is _several_ orders of magnitude larger than the "inclusivity" stuff we're fed much more often.
That's not a mere coincidence.
HN? Are you talking about in the news? A specific news outlet?
The imbalance of power between the ultra-wealthy and the rest of us is in the news all the time, at least that I watch and read.
