The only viable solution for “underrepresentation” of certain groups is to address the environment in which children are raised and educated. By the time they are young adults, unable to read or understand math at 9th grade levels, it is too late to “affirmatively” make them into skilled professionals into whose hands you would entrust your life or the lives of people you love.
We need to listen to the urgent message of people like Thomas Sowell, or Congressman Byron Donalds, or Herschel Walker, or Harris Faulkner and address the “root causes” (yes, Kamala, sometimes that works!) of “underrepresentation,” not try to fix it by shoehorning unqualified adults into life-and-death jobs.
