The underlying assumption for all DEI is that talent is distributed evenly across the spectrum of humanity.
That’s a large assumption….
I’d concede that it’s probably true at level of young children. But once talent becomes merit, and effort, motivation, hard work, aptitude, and drive is involved to increase your merit…all bets are off.
and there are physiological differences amongst groups of humans as well. For example, There’s a reason there aren’t any women playing in the NFL. and I don’t think it has anything to do with recruiting efforts or barriers to entry.
could a woman attain the merit to play … absolutely… it’s just a lot less likely.
