Consequentially, the impact of diversity efforts extended the group of beneficiaries to white women next to white men, while keeping the system of injustice in place.

Let’s look at the drawbacks for everyone of upholding that system, what we can do to widen our DEI efforts to include other underrepresented groups and the bigger shared benefit we yield from that.
