Yeah, you need to self-reflect and understand how pandering and condescending you end your piece. Black people are not some homogenous blob that needs your handouts. There’s a big discussion about social and racial justice to be and it isn’t as simple as quota based affirmative action. It probably has more to do with equitable taxation and central banking policies that don’t exaggerate wealth inequality, but that’s an entirely different discussion. I would just delete your attempt to moralize and judge because it comes off as misguided.
I agree with what you wrote how: black people are not a homogeneous blob, the larger discussion to be, and how the solution will not be simple.
I also agree my wording could have been better. Especially "...extending ourselves to make opportunities for black people." I see how that can come across as a call for 'quota based affirmative action.'
I did not intend for this to be interpreted as a charity case. Rather, one to understand how inequality is perpetuated in non-diverse industries and correct that behavior. On a micro level, I do believe action is one of the strongest tools an individual can do today.
Really enjoyed this one Anuj! Learned alot, thanks :)
